Gardol chain saw

[Huskybill]

Made by Husqvarna sounds like they want to compete with the cheaper market of chain saws.
Does anyone have one?

If you click on details it comes up Husqvarna weird.
I wonder why Husqvarna didn’t invest more into the partner or jred line of saws. Gardol a totally different name. Any thoughts?[/URL]

Is it self polishing or does one need to brush it like toothpaste on teeth?

 

[Huskybill]

Sounds italian? If I buy another saw the dog will be sleeping in my bed I’ll be in his house. Lol

Correction I think it’s manufactured in England.

I think Colgate toothpaste had Gardol as an ingredient at one time.

Looks like a Poulan spin off? Home owner saw.

 

[pioneerguy600]

So much plastic on that thing and all of the cheap China clones I have seen broken, broke easily like they are made of brittle non reinforced straight plastic. The first type I seen around here were branded with a Homelite decal, pure junk in my opinion.

Sorry Bill, I don`t know anything about the Gardol saws but just think they are of the same makeup as the rest of the China clones.

Husqvarna on their website makes available noise, vibration, and other details. Manuals and illustrated parts list.

Is grey market an applicable term here?

I was just looking at it, it seems husky, poulan wants a low entry into the chinese nitch. Lots of saws are offered in the low end. Mostly from China.
I would only buy a low end saw to keep at my camp. My little 9” bar eager beaver seems to handle most smaller trees from storm damage so far been lucky.

Homelite is made in China,,,,,,,,,

I had a close call with my 2100. I had a large tree knotched ready to drop on the back cut. The split second a gust of wind came by. Spun the tree around as the hindge broke, binding up the bar on my 2100 as it smashed the saw. My point is some magnesium cracked but most of the nasa space age plastic held up. I needed a new crankcase. I had a split second to reach in and grab the saw but the saw can be replaced.

It should be embarrassing when the best thing that you can say about a saw is, "Well, it does have an 'Oregon' bar and chain!"

Put an Oregon B/C on a China box store saw & it gives it credibility. Newbs see the big Oregon brand label and presume the whole saw is USA Oregon..lol.

I don't care what you might think or believe- but there is noway in hell that pile of plastic ***** in the listing is anything to do with a Jonsered CS 2238!

I bought a Stihl HT131 that said made in Germany on the bar in plain letters. Probably was half a year before I read the label assembled in USA with components from around the globe. Not sure such labeling made a purchasing decision as they ordered it in for me.

My two Husky top handle saws I got on the other hand said made in Sweden on the box and the bar came in a wrapper inside that said made in China in tiny letters.

You guys, I was starting to worry about Bill. He’s only started two threads this week.

 

[Huskybill]

I’m being good. Don’t want to bother anyone. Lol
I been watching you tube, truck builders, magnet fishing, ect.. a hint I purchased a large magnet,,,,,,,,,

Everything seems to come from China, probably because there is no environmental laws there yet on pollution. We polluted the USA to death so we will pollute another country.
