Show me a new saw that doesn't look like cheap plastic! They all do, to some degree or another, anymore.
That said, the Huskys are fine saws and do hold up well, even if their plastic does tend to fade and get chalky-looking.

I like the husky plastic over stihl plastic. BUT the worthwhile stihls have metal recoil covers, that's very key.

Stihl Wrenching
It depends on the model... Of the pro range (200T excluded) only the 026 has a "plastic" recoil cover.
Not all "plastics" are the same... The structural plastic (side covers, tanks, etc) Stihl uses is PA66-GF - Glass fiber filled Nylon - really tough stuff.

Exactly
The ones I was referring too. I agree on the toughness and have seen more than a few metal parts break where plastic won't in the same application.

It is far from new (late 2002), and yes - the case and clutch cover is magnesium.PEST said:
It is a pro quality saw, the same as the 346xp except the engine.
I am happy with mine!
