@MRkallek91 the new ones are exactly the same as chainsaws known as "Ryobi", this is the case in the UK anyway. Cheap rubbish, made in China.

@FergusonTO35 yeah, but the new ones SUCK!

the older ones have cast iron rods.

Old Homelites are outstanding. My father had a 1980 Super 2 that he used hard for 24 years.

"We tried to ruin it by doing things you shouldn't do." All they had to do was try cutting more than one log with it, would have ruined it real fast that way.
