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.

So Electrolux doesn't own Homelite now?

Don't think so. according to Wiki anyway.

History
Beginnings

In 1921, entrepreneur Charles H. Ferguson of Port Chester, New York, invented a lightweight, portable, gasoline-powered electrical generator. His newly founded company, the Home Electric Lighting Company (later abbreviated to Homelite), made it possible for thousands of rural farms and households to enjoy the convenience of electricity, where it would be years before land lines would reach many of these remote areas. In addition, many of Mr. Ferguson's generators played a significant role in the war effort, providing portable electricity on demand for the troops during World War II.

Chainsaws

In 1946, Homelite manufactured its first chainsaw, an electrical model, and in 1949, released another power-equipment innovation in the form of the first chainsaw that featured one-man operation (previous saws were generally too large and bulky to be operated by a single individual). By the mid-1960s, Homelite had been firmly established as one of the largest manufacturers of chainsaws in the world, with models ranging from small brush cutters, to the most advanced professional logging saws. The year 1963 saw the introduction of the world's first "lightweight" chainsaw, the magnesium-alloy framed Homelite XL-12; the numeral twelve denoting that the power-head weighed a mere twelve pounds. This saw is widely regarded as one of the most recognizable and well-known chainsaws of all time. In addition, the XL-12 achieved notoriety among horror film aficionados, being used in films like The Evil Dead and its sequels.

Beginning in the late 1970s, Homelite gradually expanded its power equipment line to include string trimmers, leaf blowers, and hedge trimmers.

Today Homelite is currently a subsidiary of Techtronic Industries, and has shifted its production primarily to consumer level lawn and garden equipment and light duty chainsaws. Replacement parts for the older, professional-grade, saws are generally limited to new old stock (NOS) and salvage parts. However, these saws were built to last, and a good percentage of them are still in use to this day. Homelite's parent company is headquartered in Hong Kong.

This was it, made right in Port Chester!

The 410 was a completely different design: no load rpm of 12,000.

Look Jackass, ifn I make a statement and then get called out on it I will always quote my source.

The Phrase was Coined in Tennessee, I believe.

Heard it most of my life around home so it has been in the Appalachian dictionary for a while

I did Heath. I cut sides, then noodled in to get the outsides off, then cut the inside third and used a wedge to pop it off. Then kept repeating it.
I did both of these big sticks. Took me a long while to do them. But I did them.
