    Looks like a cheap C.A.D. fix! Between getting ready to buy a log splitter with a lift and recently buying an Echo CS-355T there's no way that I can rationalize getting one. Show me a deal like that after the holidays & I'd mainline that saw! I'm happy with the CS-355T. I don't know its actual weight, but it's very easy to run with one hand. It makes cutting small stuff in the saw buck go fast! If you get it, I will look forward to reading your impressions!

    I'm tempted just to buy one for my grandad. He is 84, but uses a MS180 almost every day. Wondering if this is lighter/ handier for lighter duty chores on the ranch.

    They are very light. Has a lot of power for such a small saw.

    I used to have a similar saw from Amazon. Agreed, it was a little powerhouse for what it was. Too much to one-hand it safely anyway.

    You guys... :headbang:

    I don't need 8 of the 10 saws I have now. Plus I'm buying one from a fella on here. Lol. I want one of these to beat on or when a nephew wants to help me. Here, run this. Lol

    Well, I have clicked that ebay link twice now. My thumb hovered over the buy it now button............... but I resisted. It's hard for me to pass on a good deal. I keep telling myself I don't need it, I don't need it.

    Resisting 5-6 times actually saves you enough money to buy an echo 2511T or 2511P. PM me for more financial advice. :yes::handshake:

    I got one. It's strong. Have cut 12 inch firewood with it. Only thing i don't like is the clutch cover and the fuel and oil caps are fiddley to work with.

    Ya think prices will drop as we get nearer to X-mas?

    Look at all the money you will save. Probably enough to get that new 2511 ported. :D

    Yeah, I wish it worked that way. Probably have to pay around $7000 for surgery. Monthly bills will still be due for the 3 months I'm outta work. Probably end up trying to sell a couple saws instead of buying any.
