The parent company is Emak, currently sold as EFCO in our side of the pond.

Never owned one, never heard anything but good about the saws.

I have an EHP 981 Efco thats a pretty good running saw. I have had no problems with this one. The efco saws are well priced and you get a pretty good saw. Ed made this one really come alive.

I also have an Efco 981 which was $500 new. If it had not been such a deal, I might have passed on it for another Husqvarna. It is a bit of an oddball, with no convenient parts or support, but it has a great, torquey Gilardoni top end on it. The earlier style exhaust even came with a pipe, the second port in the bracket I installed. Sounds like a Ducati.
