Re: Thanks, Todd.

Not to worry, Mon....I let Josh drive back. He only gave me heart failure once; probably better than I was the first few times I drove.

Based on the above postings though, it's hard to see you going wrong with either a Stihl or a Husky. I guess the real question is whether or not you're going to use the thing enough to justify the extra cost - if it's going to get a good bit of use, I'd spring for one of the above. If it's only going to see occasional use for pruning or taking a limb off here and there, then the Craftsman is probably a better choice, since will do an acceptable job without costing near as much. Whatever you end up buying, a spare chain and bar is also a good idea. I don't know how much you're used a chainsaw, but using one that's even marginally dull is not only hard on the saw - the hazard goes up by an order of magnitude.

One last thing - I bought my saw online from Alamia. After my experience with them, I could not recommend them to anyone else. Actually, I wouldn't recommend buying a saw online at all. Yes, you'd save a little money, but there are some good dealers out there that really go the extra mile to take care of you when you buy a saw from them. Then again, you're enough of a gearhead that it's hard to imagine you taking it anywhere to get it worked on. Never mind.....as you were. ;-)
