It is Your right to have Your own opinion! 🍻

I am old enough
to have seen quality brands & products go to $#it.
I am not holding my breath hoping for quality nowadays.
I have a feeling I might have a few less head hairs than you and much more grey in my beard but chit I am wrong daily.

I am just saying it has been a while since I was 20 and I have been buying my own chitt since I was a teen.
Todays products are designed to be throwaways and last the warranty period.

Not trying to compete with You in the baldness and grey beard department, gladly giving You seniority! ;)

I’ve had 0 complaints about the dozens of loops of 33 RS I used, Oregon on the other hand I have choice words for. Stihl files I’ve noticed have gone downhill though.

They have changed who they source them from. They used to be re branded, swiss made Vallorbes and now they are marked made in Germany and the way it's marked is exactly the same way Pferd does their files.

I'll just say I've had good luck with Stihl RS .As for the comments about chrome domes it's just my fore head is getting longer .I think I wore it off on the head board .Seems odd falls off your noggin but grows wild on your azz . Age is only an attitude and this old hound can till hunt . Tally ho !

I find that Stihl chain stretches much more quickly than some. I've been happy with Oregon, but we use a Franzen grinder so inconsistent tooth temper isn't an issue.
