Case advice for New Husqvarna 445 chainsaw

[tomas21]

Anyone have a case to recommend for my New Husqvarna 445 chainsaw?

Found three types with mixed reviews:

"Classic" Carrying Case - Practical items

Powerbox

Sorry tomas, not trying to be a wise guy, but don't use cases for my saws. Just line them up along the back of the pickup. If they are going to be left unatended I put them in the cab to be locked. If they were in cases, they wouldn't fit. But, on the other hand, if they were in cases I wouldn't have to be so carefull not to cut my interior or other stuff on the back. Good luck on your choice, Joe.

I received a free case from my step dad, it was the classic style. The plastic handle quickly broke off, now it is a pain to pick up and move around without a handle on top. The 445 is a small saw, so it will fit nicely in either of those. You may want to post this in the chainsaw forum to get more hits.

Another way

I'd take an old pair of jeans and a bootlace; pull one leg of the jeans down into the other leg to make a double-layer denim sleeve for the bar-n-chain; slip the Huski into the sleeve and yer wedges and scwrench into the inside pockets (leave the saw-handle outside) and tie the ends up with the bootlace. After it gets oil-nasty, toss it and start with another old pair of jeans.

The power box is a great case and stays where it should vesus the older blue/black/red contoured case, which also take up more room.

With a power box and a 445 you can pack your saw, fuel, tools, ppe, hell even your lunch in one nice little cube thats not going to trun turtle on you every chance it gets.
