    Hmm I wonder how well they will sell. Echo has been doing pretty good job on growing their chainsaw market. I am just wondering who would carry it and if the added expenses of two brands would pay off.
    Makita is finally killing the Dolmar name after 25 years.

    My local Husky dealer was a Shin dealer till they got bought up by Echo. Then he went to Husky and now has expanded to 2 stores.
    I didnt buy Shin then as I didnt know the brand or how the parts availability would be.

    Yay! I was a Shindaiwa fan back in the day. I was really sad to see the brand go.
