Why Do Stihl Saws Cost SO Much More?

I'm going to be the only guy who likes the flippy caps. I have a couple of older Stihl saws that require a pair of pliers to get the caps off so I like flippy caps.
Here's the cap twister that I made in my shop and use on the older style Stihl caps that get ripped apart by screwdrivers:

It works and I use one almost every day for every Stihl I own that does not use a flippy.
 
So whose #3? Assuming husqvarna is #2.

Is someone spreading those rumors AGAIN? :confused:

I have heard rumors in dark Alleys, that there Are OTHER Brands of Chainsaws besides Husqvarna, and Stihl, but surely those Rumors are just Hersey and Blasphemy ;):surprised3::)

And then to add that Bovine Excrement that Husqvarna is Number 2?:eek:

Has the earth shifted on it axis?:D

never ran a huskie any length of time they feel loosey goosey to me kind a like a 441 Stihl

I haven't run many Stihls, but I have never felt that any of my Huskys have felt "Loosey Goosey", and counting the Wife's saw, I've got 6 Huskys. I am trying to figure out just how a saw would feel "Loosey Goosey", maybe I will have to find a Stihl 441, and see just what a "Loosey Goosey" saw feels like;)

I bought my 266XP New in 91', and it made a Husky believer out of me, Never parting with that saw, My 3120XP is simply a BEAST, that is a Ton of Fun Bucking Big wood with, the 353 is a Handy saw to have around, didn't realize how much I "Needed" a 50cc saw until I had one:D, the 23 Compact Top Handle is another that gets more use than I would have expected when I bought it. The 460 Rancher, I bought used, it Ain't Pretty, but runs Good, where I live Trees in the road is a fairly common occurrence so it is my "Truck Saw", I'm NOT leaving my 266 in the truck 24/7.

My Huskys have always been Great saws for Me, so I have stuck with them, and never regretted it, YMMV

Either way, used Stihl stuff sells a lot better!!! Hard to argue that point!!!

That could be, because Husky owners are Happy with their saws and DON'T SELL them ;):)

Is it they sell Better, or there is just MORE of them FOR SALE?:p

Not likely to see any of My Huskys on the Tradin' Post any time soon.
