    Once you do a muffler modd its a decent saw. Out of the box it is anything but impressive.

    It's amazing how much better my 52cc runs stock vs a muffler modded 45 cc Quake. No contest really. I'd even say the modified 45cc wasn't as strong as my 52. I'm kinda worried I won't be able to get appreciable gains from the 52cc.

    The only thing I buy there is tools for the warranty however I have been buying Kobalt lately because they are way better quality.

    I like kobalt as well.

    I have a bunch of HF tools as well cause I'm cheap. Bit they now have lifetime warranty and the quality is better than it was a few years ago. Still nowhere near good tools but when your a weekend hack and dont want to put much cash into it.
