This is the Swedish parent of what we in the U.S. know as Husqvarna. The U.S. company are the saw whores who put Husky in Home Depot. Hopefully the Swedes will be smarter with RedMax. I'll drop RedMax from my store if they put the brand in the box stores.

Over here it is Stihl and Jonsered that also are sold in warehouses - Husky is serviceing dealers only....

Hey Paul, Home Depot does not carry Husky. We carry Echo and Poulan.

RocketDonkey, er, Spacemule, You know what I mean the mass merchants are interchangeable as far as the servicing dealer is concerned.

Good one Paul.............how appropriate!!! LOL

I dont think you will see much change in the way Redmax is sold. Husky got into this deal to get ahold of Redmax's extensive patent collection that relates to compliant two cycle engines. Redmax is light years ahead of anyone in this regard.

Do a search on rocketdonkey, you'll see that this was Glens pet name for spacemule from WAY back.

 

[spacemule]

Glen should come back. It was hilarious when he would get worked up and go off on a technical tirade. :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[sedanman]

We're highjacking a thread here but I agree, Glen was an asset here.
