Always preferred the Stanley. A bit heavier but seemed to cut better.

Love my ADI. Coop runs a fairmont, but i think it's a lesser saw. You often get what you pay for. If you get a fairmont, post up your comparison.

nah i just bought another ADI i dont wanna risk buying junk. like you said and it has been proven to me to many times. you get what you pay for. thats why a 192t is half the price of a 200t. 200 got alot more kahunas. so im guessing the ADI is way better myself.

seen a fairmont and a ADI side by side no comparison. glad i went with an ADI. if you look a the specs alone you can see a difference.

good call. I like the oblong shape of the fiberglass shaft better on the ADI than the round one on the fairmount. I think it is much stronger and certainly firmer.

saw the fairmount in action the other day...maybe it was the operator..but it was depressing. he was cutting real slow.

ya i noticed the same thing goes back to you get what you pay for. i use the hydralic saws alot anymore i love the low noise level and never having to boom down to get more fuel. that hydralic stick is great for stripping pine trees because i always dread the start when you have to cut a whole for you bucket to get into close to the trunk.
