    I would think so. Ive had people try to tell me that greasing the tip is dumb and that the grease collects dirt and wears them out faster. I ask "well why's ur tip getting in the dirt ;). At work we have mostly stihl saws and the sealed tips do seem to hold up pretty well.

    Well , I'm currently working on that very question . So far I've come up with :
    1 - no outboard clutches used
    2 - extraterrestial grease is used
    3 - Stihls just don't turn the rpm required to stress a bearing
    4 - ES bars made just really well made !
    Sarc switch ..... \ off .

    Obviously number two is the answer.
