as I used to build Stihl chainsaws wayyyyy baccck about 30 years ago about the same time when Magellan discovered the Spice Islands in the South Pacific. I even went to work for their molding and casting foundry in Hamilton Ontario for 3 months as part of my training. Based on my experience with it we build them to last heck we even get rid of the burr around the bushings and the handles so customers don’t get splinters during handling it when the motor start to whirrs away.BTW, 90% of the engine parts were heavy aluminum gauge I should know I poured and molded about 10, 000 of them when I was working at the foundry. If I remember correctly, they’re quite expensive as it took about 3 months of my salary to afford one back then. I’m not sure if they still build them as if they used to but if you can find a used ones say around 30 years old you can bet your sawdust dollars that they’re just as good as it gets.
