I'm aware the the redmax saws are rebranded Jonsered/husq but is there any reason to stay away from redmax? Specifically the GZ7100 AKA 2172 AKA 372XP X-TORQ.
I scored a deal on a couple of NIB GZ5000's recently. These are Jonny 2252's through and through with Redmax decals. Very much love the saw! I'd pick up a GZ7100 without hesitation. A couple have come available in recent months, but I haven't been able to get to them quickly enough.
