Curiously enough, Homelite made some of the first (if not the first) motorized chainsaws and now their stuff is junk......
And yes, Mac's used to be a good saw but then again, Stihl's used to be better when they were made in West Germany. Now they're being made in places like West Virginia and a new plant is under construction - heard it from my Stihl rep - in China!
He also said the Chinese Stihls will be for use in China and the region........ so look out Australia and New Zealand.....
