Can't believe after being qualified for 30 years with a chainsaw you can still walk in to b n q, buy a chainsaw walk out with it, no questions asked and put yourself in hospital shortly afterwards!
Don't ever get complacent with your saw, it will bite back and doesn't leave prisoners. It doesn't need to be big wood either, I was clearing undergrowth with one of my smaller saws one day, the saw was getting a little blunt and I went to cut some bramble as think as my thumb. As the saw was blunt it gripped the bramble and ran up it and back at me. Lesson learned that day, always have a sharp saw.
On a lighter note Stihl is the daddy of a workhorse, all my saws are stihl and i abuse them, two of them are 15 years old now and still rip with a sharp chain!
