Is the 066Mag the king of all chain saws

Told ya, This one is STIHL hungry

Here's a question for you geniuses:

If Stihl is such a great saw, why do they (Stihl) only have a 90 day warranty on their saws, while Husqvarna and Echo each have a two year warranty on theirs?

Enquiring minds want to know.

If today they changed it to a 10 year warranty would it change the quality of their product?

If Husqvarna changed their's today to a one week warranty would that change the quality of their product?

Yes. Generally the length of warranty is a direct reflection of the quality and durability of a product. Cheap product=short warranty. Quality product=long warranty.

(I see your having me on 'ignore' lasted all of about 10 minutes, or as long as your attention span, larry.)

Because Husky and Echo are in competition with Sthil.
And that would be a marketing practice.

 

[LarryTheCableGuy]

Well Sap, it looks like you answered your own question then. I am convinced that nobody will change your opinion of Stihl products or dealers.

Have you ever purchased an extended warranty / service contract or known somebody that did? Did the extra money spent magically increase the quality of the product?

.

Nope, try again.

If that was the case then Stihl could just match the 2 year warranty and effectively kill ther competition.

Nice try though.

It's a well know retail fact that again, generally speaking, 'extended warranties' are for suckers.

 

[LarryTheCableGuy]

Stihl apparently doesn't need to offer that as an incentive to sell their product, Husqvarna does.

Sap, you ASK a question and then ARGUE with each and every answer. What is up with that? Trying to sound superior?

Warranty is as much of a marketing ploy as covering the product,,,,, Stihl also has a 2 year emissions warranty, do they ever see them in 2 years for emissions warranty work? rarely I'm sure!

Point blank, Stihl is not suffering sales loss due to it;s 90 day warranty!

Your Dealer did'nt give you the option of returning to his store did he? As for myself, I would take that as a huge insult, just hopping you would get some help as there is a chance your picking up on trends,,,,,, that everyone else has problems, not you?

Thats not nesessarily true, both are great saws.
But to an uneducated SAP that walks in the doors to buy a saw it gives them something to talk about.

As for myself, I really like to just bang on my anvil, but will offer help when it is needed.

Blacksmith Kevin thinks he is suffering from a Histrionic Personality Disorder,,,,, it's clear as a bell, but we are not worthy to help him!

I agree Manual, sorry! Was just trying to illustrate a point to the pointless...

We should offer to help..

Uh, no. What's the sense of taking a position if you don't bother to defend it?

Be honest. The real reason that Stihl only has a 90 day warranty is:

1) Because they don't have that much confidence in their product's quality
(...Hey, maybe it's hard finding good help these days in Virginia, eh?)

2) Their (Stihl dealers) parts/repair business is a cash cow. After spending big $$$ on a chainsaw, who's going to balk at paying a few hundred more $$$ when something goes wrong the first year or so? Particularly when you can only get parts and service on the saw from a Stihl dealer...and in many cases, apparently only the exact Stihl dealer you bought the saw from. How's that for a monopoly on service? LOL!

3) They're resting on past laurels and their prior good name.

If there was just one real point there, how did Shihl become the biggest?

When I was a Stihl Dealer, Stihl was the biggest, A-1 at 73% of all saws sold,,,,,, that dose not leave romm for #2.

Get some help, ever think about getting on the Opra show sap?

Just trying to help

Sap, Have you ever considered counseling ?

Huh? Why in the world would I ever want to return to a store that tried to rip me off to the tune of $400?
Again, the hint should have been that the CalTrans yard right next door to the Stihl shop bought Husky.
