    The little homelite was my first saw. I believe I was given it for my 8th birthday and I still have it.
    Also have a new in the box one.

    Very cool. My first saw was a homelite classic 180 back in the mid 90's.

    Mine too. Mom bought it for my older brother to use (he's 12 yrs my senior) and eventually I did the cutting. Think I was a teen before using it though. Got my first Stihl when I was 17.
