Hyundai makes chainsaws

[SawTroll]

No, they are the same just with different shaped plastic covers and different colors. I'm amazed at how easy it is to fool even experienced chainsaw people with simple cover and color changes. They are all Chinese made clones of Zenoah G3800, G5000 and G621 designs, in various displacements.

OK, I don't really know....

So, you know for a fact that these are Chinese copies and not Korean copies?

No, not for certain. I've seen plenty of these G3800 clones, all so far made in China. The Australian version of the Hyundai is clearly the same as the Topsun saw which is made by Zhongjian Tools Manufacture Co. There are also some hints on the UK versions that they are close to the Earthquakes. I've never seen any chainsaw advertised as being made in Korea, but it's certainly possible.

Guess I will sell my Stihl's Mac's and Husky's and buy Chinese. NOT

Well,,sell the squeels and upgrade !!!

Hyundai is a huge co. Cars are a very very small part . They are big in electronics and heavy equipment and ships. They make about everything so why not chainsaws

You can buy good stuff in china or you can buy crap. Americans seem to think that they can get good quality Chinese stuff dirt cheap. The laws of economics apply even in china: good quality costs money. There are some excellent products coming out of china, but they don't tend to come here because Americans go "that's too much for Chinese stuff." Yet nearly all of the stuff Americans think are good quality has Chinese stuff in it. There's another country that we had the same opinions about in the late 60s early 70s; Japan.

Isn't Hyundai made in Korea?

NOOOO!
Don't! IMHO this China based company has nothing to do with the Korean car manufacturer.

And even not remotely connected to the Korean Hyundai Heavy Industries!

One word? Actually three...
Chinese cloning crap!

The video shows that the easy start feature works beautifully (with the engine warmed up) but also that the saw bogs down gnawing at twigs with 3/4 of the bar exposed...

Likely both due to low compression/excessive squish clearance. Just like the Earthquakes.

Can't really blame them - it makes it easier for the novice to start and easier to manufacture.

It may interest you to know Hyundai chainsaws have arrived in my neck of the wood as well.
One is the usual G5000 clone. The other is, intriguingly enough, a G3400 clone. The third is a top handle saw whose original genetic material I cannot identify. Care to guess what is?

 

[dougand3]

I'll guess Kioritz/Echo clone.

 

[7sleeper]

No it is a Zenoah G 2500 clone. I have an original = Oleo Mac G 2600 and am very happy with it! Here is a vid of mine.
