I recently got a Chinese chainsaw, and after some degree of tweaking,
it performed admirably. It was a terrific saw for $125. I did a LOT
of work with this saw over the last month while cleaning up around
JPE: cleared several roads, cleared around buildings, cut up a ton of
brush, made a large clearing in the woods, bucked up dozens of trees,
etc. I've easily run 15 tanks of fuel or more through the saw, but had
yet to have to sharpen the chain, though it was just about due to a
filing - getting better at not hitting the ground, I guess. I also
have a Stihl 036 Pro, but found myself using the chi-com saw
exclusively, and grew to love the little thing. Well, now it's dead.
I had it in the bucket of my tractor, but didn't have the bucket fully
tilted back. I got distracted, and forgot about the saw when I took
off, so neglected to tilt the bucket. I had just graded the road, and
was marveling at how smooth it was, and how fast I could go on my
tractor. At about 100 yards down the road, tapped in 7th, BA-
WHAM...my tractor bounced around violently. "What was THAT??" I spun
around to see my beloved chi-com saw clatter to a stop behind me.
Oops. THATs why I DON'T allow myself to pay $600 for a saw...
Evidently, getting run over by an 8000 pound tractor is not good for a
chainsaw. Bah. I think I'll get another one...

OTOH, speaking of 2-strokes... I did pull my GasGas out of the garage
and hauled it up to JPE, along with the wife's TTR125L. I didn't get
a chance to start the GG, but did take a spirited jaunt around some of
the local area on my wife's bike after doing a bit of wrenching on
it. That lil' thing gets squirrely when you go fast across wet rocks.

pop's took his craftsman back to sears
(after he ran it over with a 9 foot bush hog)
they laughed, he did too, and bought another one.

Where I work we service cell phones. One day a guy walked in with a
phone that was clearly ran over. He said it was "normal wear" claiming
that "all phones wear like this" and demanding "you should give me a
new one"... Man, even the sim card was broken inside the phone. Not a
single salvageable part... We didn't laugh, neither did the guy.
