    Just a little work for the Shindaiwa 488. Running well. Enough power for most of my cutting, and light enough to do some trimming if needed. [​IMG][​IMG]

    47.9 cc. I prefer running them with 18” bars but I bought a bunch of 20” bars cheap and they do okay if you don’t push them hard. There are probably better performing saws available, but the Shindaiwa 488 seems well built and has been a reliable saw.

    I picked this one up for less than $100. Another reason to like them.
