I don't use safety stuff and should. I've come pretty close to getting hurt a couple of times due to stupidity and carelessness.

I bought my first saw, a Stihl about 40 years ago and have worn out 3 of them. With the exception of the flip caps, they make a good saw. I returned the latest one, before it was stolen, to the store where I bought it. They sent it to a factory repair center that claimed the caps were the old style ones and that they had replaced them with the newer models.(Why didn't they replace the ones in the stores before they were sold? Why no recall?) Anyway, it still poured oil on my leg. So, my beef is with Stihl and I refuse to do business with a company that sticks it to me like that. BTW, I called Stihl a couple of times to no avail.

I'll stick with Echo.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
