Anyone else NEVER purchase a new saw?

[angelo c]

I wonder how many members have running Wild Thing's in their collection?

best darn "loaner saw" ever made. !!

I wouldn't mind giving a new 550XP a good home, though...

Anyone ever watch "Jim Schitty's Repairs" on youtube?

I have one saw that my wife bought new for me in '98. A ground up rebuild makes the others good as new. New husky parts prices will make them cheaper to keep up as well. Should probably stock up before the bubble bursts.

Used to have a Wild Thing in my collection 10 years ago

I have a saw that I went to the hardware store with my dad to get. We got some input from the dealer and bought an 026 and paid a bit more for an 18" .325 bar for it. Took it home and finished cutting up a tree my little Skil chainsaw couldn't handle and it's still running fine and is part of my line up after 25 years. So I technically didn't buy it but have been the primary possessor of it its whole life. The other 100 and something saws I purchased were all used.

Had one I ran as a beater for 6 or 8 years, then sold it for $100 a couple of years ago. Mostly run saws I rebuild, though.

I have never bought a new chainsaw. I normally just wait for the broken ones to find me...

Only saw I have that was bought new is my 024 that my dad bought. Thats a different top cover and air filter cover on it now.

First new saw, and I only bought it because it was such a good deal. It will stay in the box for a while.

I've never purchased a new saw. All of mine were pieced together from several busted saws. It's more fun that way.
