I got the 680 last year after years of looking for one.
It came with the wrap.
I took this pic today and was planning to run this one, but after rocking two chains I ended up running the 757.

Hey bud! Nice to see you over here. We were a little low on red saws but Josh has been doing his best.

Got this from Workshop several weeks ago.
Emissions sticker says 695 but who knows.
Pulls like one would expect a 60cc x 20" should.

How does it run for you? Some folks really like the 695s.

I like it a lot.
My Olympyk 264 would maybe spank it but it's a factory hot rod.[emoji15]

It's been my experience with Shindaiwa equipment they are well built but not made for the high performance some other machines may have i.e.: chain speed, power/weight ratio.
But I have been running Shindaiwa equipment since 1984 and other than my first 500 chainsaw I broke after stupidly dropping it out of a tree, I've not had one piece of equipment fail once I got it into running condition. Most of the used stuff I buy just needs fuel system maintenance and it's good to go.
I finally got a 680 added to the collection after years of looking. I've had a 695 for quite some time but have only used it on a couple of occasions.
For some reason I normally grab a 757 for most of the bigger wood.
I really like the 577/550/575 saws but could honestly get by with a 488/490/500 class and still cut anything I ever need to.
I was lucky to get into the Shindaiwa line up when good runners could be found for very little cash.
