Started off with mostly Jonsereds. Discovered husky and Dolmar handle angle is easier on the left wrist mostly when carrying not cutting…but it kinda throws my angles off cutting. The 90 of the Jreds seems to give a feel reference to the bar…or do I just need to get used to the angle? Gonna have to cuz I lurve that 7900…

Ive got both and really never noticed a difference. I'm no pro, however, just a firewood cutter.

You’ll get used to it. Every time I cut with a stihl or jonsered I have to re-learn how to hold it… but it doesn’t take me too long. Like riding a bike, you never forget. Lol

You can get used most things eventually, I guess.
I definitely prefer the angled bars, they feel a lot more natural to me..... but that's just me, with only a few thousand hours behind a saw.
