Default Re: HUSKY 338 Thoughts?

Eats it faster than a Stihl however the real problem is how the brake spring sits in that slot.

Within a few months the screws that hold the plastic cover on the spring are corroded away (the thread is in the chasis) then the back of the alloy chasis recess the spring sits in gets corroded away and bingo no brake and bugger all hope of fixing it.

Good saw for wood, sucks for palms.

But I own a 460 and a 440 and I can say the 460 is a much better powerful torquier saw, the 440 is maybe not as good though ... the 372 sits between those 2 Stihl models.
