Nice bit of BS

Saw this on Ebay and thought I'd share:

GUEDE Professional PETROL CHAINSAW KS 400B..2,0 kw (2,7 PS)..Chain bar length : 400 mm...no reserve

petrol chainsaw of the high quality manufacturer guede

2 year warranty !!!!


Professional allround chainsaw for demanding use, electronic ignition (I'm impressed), quadruple screwed muffler, adjustable chaining lubrication, impacttough housing (plastic), aluminum front-seized (not a word we want to hear associated with a new saw) with rubberizing (???), chain-brakes (good to know)and chain-catcher for highest security(anti-theft device?), 7 times anti-vibration system (7 pieces of rubber), easily accessible air cleaner (it's on the top), chromed cylinder (Nice), walbro carburetor.

Apparently it has four screws holding the muffler on!!

maybe the poor slug that buys it gets quadruple screwed :Eye:

Well, I speak lousy German and would be hard pressed to put together an ad in German that made much sense.

But I do have to wonder why it is listed as a location of "United Kingdom Austria" and being sold for GBP not Euros.

ROTFL thats good

 

[Vman]

does it have Lo-Jack too? or just the chain catcher security device? i will buy it if it has Lo-Jack.

Güde equipment sold in Germany is imported stuff from Asia, only meant for use by the really "poor" home-owner.

Stay away from it if you like to work with decent equipment.

Actually a number of those items were inserted by Dan when posting the original message. The real listing simply has some broken english that comes across as a bit hokey.

 

[Dan Forsh]

I'd call it Poetic license

Is there a link to this ad?

 

[Dan Forsh]

WOW!!!

I thought it was a joke!!!!

 

[Diesel JD]

Ummm. that thing looks like a rebadged Husqvarna (flame suit on)

 

[p38lightning]

I feel inferior! My muffler is only triple screwed! I'm calling Homelite! If they will quadruple screw their mufflers, they will replace Stihl and Husky as top dogs! :blob6:

 

[rbtree]

That looks very similar to a 488 Shindaiwa....slightly smaller displacement...at 45 vs 49 cc.....

 

[brent denny]

That saw looks EXACTLY like the redmax 455.
