Funny thing is with epa restriction on new saws, when he is older and his cutting buddies have the latest saws they think are great, they may just get a suprize when they notice your grandson zipping through wood with that ol 372xp, and when he puts a larger or smaller bar on he can get a little screwdriver thingie and tune it for greater performance. They may also get a surprize holding it and noticing its 2/3rd of the weight of their saw.lol. A toolkit with some vital spares like clutch springs, carb kits, fuel lines, gaskets, spark plugs, needle bearing, fuel/oil filters, air filter, scrench, starter cord, mini grease gun, sprockets (various pitches), calibrated mix jug and a few Wiha hand tools would ensure he gets the service life out of his 372 it deserves. That saw will be NLA one day and OEM spares may be expensive and hard to find. Look the saw itself is enough of a good thoughtful gift, but a box of spares hidden in your basement would make for a cool 18th or 21st gift.
Have a 9 year old grandson that one day will need a saw,so I thought I would buy him one for when he comes of age.
