The official Earthquake thread.

I have a Craftsman 18" 42 cc I believe. It starts ok and cuts ok...the

I thought better of posting it once I realized what the thread was about. Only read the last couple at first when I initially posted.

 

For us saw nuts you can't resist a NEw saw that has documented decent results on these forums by actual saw guys. People like us who have saws worth between 5-20x what these things cost. Still were getting addicted to them. A good loaner or truck saw. Leaving at deer camp to cut firewood or trails etc.

None of us are giving up are stihls for them. Or planning on it being our primary bucking saw or anything!

 

Thanks I'm not real bright when it comes to this interweb stuff

 

Did not even think of reoosting. I just turned my phone upside down!!

 

My 4518 is gonna be delivered tonight -- can hardly wait!!!

/Think i'm going to name her 'Kickass II'

 

Tracking # shows it was delivered -- but it's not here. Either stolen or a neighbor got it.

 

There is no more 45cc for sale! To slow I was going to order a second!!! Maybe they will be back up tomorrow? Think they were availible this morning?

 

I think they took all the saws and are doing auctions on them as they see there auctioning for more than the buy it now price an the website price. They have like 3x more auctions now.

 

I waited with my ar15 for mine and I dont even have neighbors.

 

So...are you guys buying these for the fun of it or as long term saws? Or just experiments to see what they can do? I understand they are affordable, so there's not much risk

 

All 14 that I bought was to make MONEY

I doubled the price and used that money to help pay for a MS 461R

 

As a play saw and to makemonry but thsttrain may be left?

 

Who are these sold to if they could pick them up as cheaply?

 

The company were buying from is the importer from china. The saw is normally sold at sears home depot or Lowes, menards is sold by DR power equipment, yes the DR mower people. It retails for $150-200

 

There "as is" returned saws. No warrenty. U don't know of their refurbished, just returns or overstocks, used? They do all run.

 

Like what was said above Sears was selling them for $165 here; I have shipped them to people in Canada; Washington State; Idaho; Montana and Oregon

 

I bought mine as a "what the h*ll" saw. Something I can use for a quick job, throw in the back of the truck in case I stumble across a scrounge, let the neighbor borrow, etc.

I should give the neighbor one for Christmas so he doesn't ask to borrow my saws anymore. He never gets to run mine, I go over and cut whatever he needs cut for him. Don't trust him with my equipment. But, I'd trust him with the Quake....

 

Neighbor had it, so how about an unboxing party!!!

The unassuming box

Well that did not take long

'Kickass II'

Hey, got another scrench

Bar and chain looks unused

Saw seems kinda well made/ only complaint is front chintzy chain adjustment

A little fuel and oil and Kickass II popped on the third pull, started on fifth... Only bogged down 4 times cutting into a piece of poplar.
