About as hot as an ice cube. LOL
Do you mean "hot", as in stolen or performance wise?
They look good and for the age they have a behaviour that I much rather like than some newer ones...Ie ,,,my other macs start much easly than a new Husky 446...not to mention the X torq is not my cup of tea
As in heavy, no/garbage av and crappy air filtration? I like my old saws as much or more then the next guy, but wouldn't be cutting with them on a daily basis, nor calling half of them "hot". At least the pm800 has a decent following and parts availability, the solo is just a shelf queen when something goes wrong with it. Cool saw, but not popular.
I'd love to find a PM 800 like that locally... big McCullochs seem to be few and far between around WNY.
Where I live you find parts when you find another mac. I was missing a handle bar insert,,,,20€ bought a new PM700...
Im not a pro...neither I cut daily but my choice always goes to old macs, they are reliable and fun to use not to mention no one bothers me while im cutting wood. ,,,they are perfectly loud
In Portugal was the first one I saw...not was cool looking as 10-10 or the 700..but still nice
