    This illustrates the power of punctuation...Without a ? the post title becomes an affirmative statement.

    Unfortunately I have no information on the bars.

    My experience is that Sandvik make very nice stuff.
    If I saw those I would be going for it.

    I have a couple Carlton Speed Tips and they do seem to be the same quality as the older ones.

    Weren't the problems with these more so with the construction failing? I know it wasn't every one of them but it was enough to get Husky to pull them I guess.

    Tips were blowing out, but I think it was just in extreme use ?

    I have seen plenty of regular husky bars with the tips blown out. From lack of greese I am sure!

    I remember it being something like that.

    I've never seen one in small mount.

    If that were the case, Stihl bars would be failing left and right. Howsacome those laminated E bars with non-replaceable/non-greasable tips seem to hold up so well?
