Stihl 150 saw

[Toddppm]

Suprised I haven't seen anybody mention this saw yet? Just saw it at a dealer last week for the first time Meet our smallest, lightest chain saw: The new MS 150 C-E pruning professional | STIHL | Stihl, Viking, chain saws, brushcutters, hedge trimmers, clearing saws, high-pressure cleaners, lawn mowers, trimmers
Sure is pretty light but man is it small, feel smaller than those toy chainsaws for kids. Has a dime tip bar on it, would be good for carving anyways:dunno: Dealer said $489.00!!!!!!!!!

I just bought a Stihl MS 150 T a week ago, but it's the top-handle in-tree saw, not the rear-handle saw as shown in your photo. I also have an MS 192 T, and the 150 looks "cute" beside it. Was $439 + tax in Virginia Beach.

THIS ONE.

We have one at at one of the places I work. It's no 200T but has surprisingly good power for it's size. All the groundmen seem to like it a lot. I've used it a time or two for fine pruning fruit trees and cutting out vines. I could see how some one could easily underestimate it and get hurt. It's not the toy it looks like, and is so light you find your self doing things with it you probably shouldn't be. You can not only one hand it with no effort, but do all kinds of contortions with it.
I think of it as a power hand saw. It has the smallest size chain I've ever seen. I don't think it would be a good everyday trimmer, but if moneys no object, I'ed like to have one around for those times when it would be used.
