I could not go through a season without something going wrong on the Homelites, usually the recoil. Often had to repair them several times a year. Got sick of doing it.

The Stihl was faster, stronger, and dead solid on reliability.

I believe the 410 was Homelite's answer to the 044, but it was too little, too late, & Electrolux did the rest.

And I thought the *s-word House Rat was in N.Korea.

Good job!

The Phrase was Coined in Tennessee, I believe.

But Yes,

I try to myself, but sometimes I get in my way.

I call those "Goonies" and don't even think about it without a 70cc ported and up. Nice job!

I could be wrong, but I think the 410 may have been the 330s big brother. They were the new Homelite "high speed" saws, they did 7,500 RPM! I don't think you would want to run one against a 044 in Randy ported the 410 and the 044 was bone stock.

Maybe it would compare to the 041.

You know when Americans weren't in a hurry these saws were fine. But today it's all about the "hurry up and wait" or "hurry up and get tired" as I get older.

From what I understand, that generation of saws didn't give up anything to their European Competitors.

The problem was them selling out.

My FIL had a Homelite, not sure which model, but it was smaller. Had the oiler assist button on handle. He may still have it in his basement. I gotta check.

I don't think Electrolux had anything to do with Homelite, that was Techtronic Industries which did the same thing to Homelite as Electrolux did to Poulan. Same end result just a different company.

The weight of an 066 and the power of a 036, what's not to like???

I think the 330 came out about the same time. Think it was a fairly new model when I got it.

IIRC, Brunswick was involved at some point also.

I like Stihl's. Lol
