    Everyone should buy at least 2. One to use and one to take photos of and put on display.

    I just picked up an 18" .325/.058 SuperBar from you and it has a very slim profile and nose. I put the bar against a Husqvarna HL-258-72 and it is identical in profile. Ok, maybe a couple hundredths of an inch off in a few spots. Well made bar, I like it.

    However ... I'd like a SuperBar in .325/.058 with a full profile tip for plunge cutting. I looked in their catalog and can't find one. Seems Tsumura/Total thinks that .325 bars should only be narrow 'low kickback' profiles.

    At the moment no but they will be back in stock shortly. My guy that makes them for me has been swamped and i put the 421 spikes ahead of the 6100 so that was just another delay added to the list

    Total Super Bars are lower priced than the Stihl ES equivalents and competitively priced with Oregon Powermatch bars. The Light and Tough version is lower priced than Sugi or Oregon reduced weight bars so i cant see the price needing adjusted on them. Maybe if your buying/pricing them from places other than me they may be considered high priced.

    T202FV4 $85.99 and i sell the same bar for $54.11

    Platinum would be a poor choice of metal. These are made from a higher quality steel than most other bars, which means the rails don't wear as much. That might not be important to you if you don't cut much wood. But if you do, I think the price is very reasonable for a bar that should last twice as long.

    24" k095
    16" k041 bars included in that

    I just checked your site, has it been updated yet? How much is the Husky 3/8 .058 24" L&T ? I thought that we would only ever see Total L&T in .050 gauge, good to see .058!
