After a couple months in service this saw came back with not one but two broken clutch springs having been replaced with aftermarket ones. At this point the decision was made to replace with OEM from a local dealer. Would have liked to try a different brand but how many times can I have this happen again? None. Upon examining them in comparison to one another the OEM is a little bit heavier, .006" to be precise. So I guess I'm just a bit frustrated, everyone knows repairing saws can get expensive fast, too expensive and the job will be lost. Besides myself(I bought the parts) where else can I point the blame, the one item in question, or the entire line of that particular company's products? Oh well at least I feel a bit better after ranting anyway.
