As you can see from all the comments on here stihl is or was a good product. I work on saw an weed eaters all the time . Stay away from the newer stihls that don t have carb. Junk . Have take to dealer to adjust by lap top. Junk . They have a c beside the model number on the side . Best saw over made was the 44 magnum. The 38 an 28 farm boss was good too. All saws need a better air filter system. Keep good gas an clean filter Everytime you use it will last long time . The best weed eater is the 250 2 stroke . We put saw heads on them to trim up in woods . Kinda heavy but strong . The 4 strokes stihl are junk also. We use the 250 every day . Last us us few years with every day use .
