I bought a Jonsered 2159 in Nov 05, a great saw, in the last 4 months I have cut over 1000 cords of firewood with it, no problems at all.

I love all my red saws. Granted, they are all 15 years old or older, but I love them just the same!

excellent saws i have three 625, 2159 and 2171 and wouldn't trade for any other brand.

Don't know much about the line except that they are a well built pro quality saw like Stihl and Husqvarna and Echo. Just be sure to match the saw to your needs, whatever brand you choose.

Wow. 7 replies and nobody has bothered mentioning that the Jonsered is the twin to Husqvarna. Most models are practically identical with most parts interchangable. Sort of like comparing a Chevy and a GMC.

They may be almost identical, but you have to admit the black and red is a much more attractive color scheme.

2145 for me, for now.
I been using it pretty hard since last year. For a "homeowner" saw the thing works quite well. And yes, nearly identical to Husqvarna. But WAY better looking in black/red.

I use a 2095 and it is one of my favorite saws. The smallest Jonsered's are Poulon's. The mid range saws are very similar to their Husky brothers. There are some differences sometimes but the parts are usually stamped Husky. They rev high and have a nice power band. I buy all my saws used and the problem I see the most is piston damage from running to lean.

Jonsered??
Never heard of them... The closest brand I know of to that is Johnnie Reds. Just kidding,
What model are you thinking of trading that 029 for?

The man at the dealer ship said sthils with odd endding number are "homeowner" type and even anumber saws are the "pro" type.Is that true?Iam thinking about the CS 2165 or the 2171. With a 32" bar and a 20" bar.A 32 for big stuff and 20 for everything else.They have a brand new 2095 with 36" bar for $939.99.That saw is way big saw.Iam getting all my ducks in a row for side jobs on weekends and when Iam laid off.

It was true 15 years ago.. but not today. The 029 is not a "pro" model, but many pros use them day in day out for firewood cutting..
Would that be one day in the shop, one day out cutting?Lakeside53 said:

Actually if you look close you will find more that is different than most think.
You will find the crank case and the motor to be the same but a lot of the plastic and handles are different making it a whole different feeling saw.
