I like to keep our saws in a case but frankly the case that you buy is a bunch of crap. I went to order a case for the 660 and found out they don't even make one for it!!!
Where do you keep your saws??

I've never used a case and i've never seen any other professional chainsaw users that do. They're too bulky. The saws go in the back of the truck on the way to and from the job, although sometimes the truck is too full and they end up riding in the chipper. At home they stay in the loft of the shop.

361, 020 and 026 stay in the side box on the F-450. 660, 020 and 361 in saw box on bucket truck. Other saws ride in the back if needed. When not in the trucks they stay with the gear in the shed...... Mike

In the back of the Excursion along with everything else:
I'm impressed that you can get all of that gear in it. Quite the pile of tools. Does gas fumes ever become a issue?? We have been keeping all of our tools in a seperate equipment trailer but the gas smell gets pretty strong in it.

In the barn, on the Quad, or in the Truck.
The Husky cases are great for the truck bed, but they are a PITA to keep from sliding off the wood piled up in the bed.
Stay safe!

My 359 stays in a husky case with some files extra plugs, stump vise, earmuffs and glasses. My 2186 rides in the back of my truck blocked in so it doesnt get all banged up, i know it doesnt sound manly but i like to keep them looking good as long as i can. All my wood gets hauled on my 14' trailer.

Why, in the one hand I run all my saws with, of course!! 
chipper truck, or the back of the crew cab pickup.
or scattered around the garage in various states of repair. Nice to have a LOT of saws, though.

In the back of the excursion when I'm pulling the dump trailer, in an aluminum truck box on a hitch hauler when I'm not. Stored in the truck box in the garage.

I've only got a few saws and two of them have cases. Niether are big Stihls. I use the cases just because they are there and in the winter they keep road salt from spraying up on them when they are in the back of the P/U. Aside from that, they are kinda a pain in the butt, and I could just as easily do without them.

I have talked to people and kinda used to be this way myself in that you think that no one will rob you because you are a bada$$, you live in a protected nborhood, you will get away with one unprotected night.
Not true....dedicated drug addicts are used to a life full of danger every minute and they would steal a saw from between Mike Tyson's legs with 2 hand cannons in each hand if they need a fix.

In a locked shop.
To be more secure I plan to put welded expanded steel doors on the front of the shelves they sit on. Also need to reinforce the main shop doors. They were kicked in once when some stuff was stolen from the previous property owner.

I would get a small safe, just light enough for one guy to drag. Fill it with coke bottles full of petrol and some gunpowder. Lock it up. Leave lots of bank cash bags around it and a hand written tally on top of it with some huge number as the last entry.
Guy will take the safe, leave the saws and try to open it with a torch.

In the back of my pick-up, cabled together and locked, with the tonneau cover also locked, backed up in my driveway under the security light, where my watchdog (noisy little Taco Bell dog) will bark like crazy if anyone tampers with it.
