Most underrated saw you own

Probably a great saw, but $900+ seems steep for a saw that only costs $480 new.

Any saw cost money to get ported

Unless you do it yourself.

I have a craftsman 2.8 that travel's all around as my just in case saw. Same thing as a 4620 poulan. I think it's wearing a 16" b&c now and I have to admit it really rips for a throw away saw. I like it so much I swapped the same 2.8 engine into a husky 41 and use it whenever I need a smaller saw.

I also have had a few over rated saws. Those didn't stick around.

I'm a lousy seller, I still own a few over rated saws.
Someone should start a thread "most overrated saw you own/owned"!

Hahaha someone else has to start it. If I did I would sure tick off the Stihl croud! Although the 029 I have is a runner with the modified cross top end and popup.

Yes indeed, but that seemed a little harsh.

thanks Simon,
I knew I could count on you!

Even if using you do it yourself, the tools you have to buy, and your own time have to count for something. It’s not something that you become a pro at overnight either. Just being realistic. I have respect for the guys that do it and share info on here.

Oh I agree completely. I respect all these porters greatly.

I would probably never spend 900$ on a 50cc saw though personally, so I get where your coming from. I’d buy it used and let someone else take the hit... I’m poor lol

It seems to me that the 357XP is underrated except for a small niche following. IMO it’s a strong stock saw for being 56cc and ported it’s an absolute animal in its class plus it’s light and nimble. Every time I run a tank through mine I set it down and just smile. I think the design flaws it had with the plastic intake clamp, auto decomp and bog caused by the old carb kit likely contributed to it becoming an undesirable saw for a lot of folks. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m still surprised there isn’t a huge fan club for them given how they perform.
