The video was kinda okay, but telling not to drop start is hillarious. Your back is in i really bag position when you try to start the saw on the ground and the "nut-sack" will definateliy be punched a few times when starting between your legs :-)

If you dont have the upper body strength and coordination to drop start your saw, you got absolutely NO business even using a chainsaw, especially if its a 18" or less bar.. Safely gear like chaps and gloves and eyewear ok thats common sense ,but not drop starting ?, even when the brake is engaged ? what is the fear here ? Who is this video for, women ?

While I do agree Husky may have a bit more torque respectively The setting of the rakers and sharpness of the cutter is the # 1 factor in cutting performance Stihl makes a fine saw and some of its smallest are very durable

@ChrisreadIRL a stihl chainsaw screams but dont cut they havent got the power that a husky has husky are also alot easier to pull apart and clean stronger guards on em i have used both when i worked in the foresty stihl will never match a husky
