    A coworker friend decided he didn’t want this little knock-off saw anymore. For all intents and purposes it’s brand new (used once he said, he prefers his pole saw for limbing) The chain on it is sharp and he gave me 3 brand new chains with it. For the price of exactly zero dollars I think I made out well. :thumbs:

    Fired up third pull. I just limbed some tulip poplar I cut the other day. It rips! Just noticed the chain is almost square ground, rather than round.

    WOW!!! Great friend. Cant beat the price with a BL stick.

    Top handles are great to have in the saw arsenal. Dont use mine a whole lot but very handy when I do. A word of caution...dont get too lax one handing though.

    BTW you have to change the name to an Ericcutter!

    What happens when you flip the bar ? The engine must reverse to keep the arrow correct......
