local "pros" tell me that stihl has been good or that the more expensive models are still good. but many are said to migrate to husqvarna.
i personally don't like all the plastic parts on newer stihl's. like "easy-to-use" cover holders which previously where solid screws.
- bungle 10y agoThere have also been new (mostly stupid) legislation, at least in EU that has forced Stihl and others to make worse products (cutting down emissions, and at the same time power). I only recommend Stihl Professional series (with metal bodies). Husqvarna's are usually equally good (it is mostly that Stihl has the best model in some class, while Husqvarna has a better model in some other class). Partner Chainsaws were also pretty respected, but Husqvarna bought them. New Stihls may feel a bit plastic, but in practice they do their job pretty nicely. What comes to power tools, Hilti is the one to look at, although I did go with Bosch power tools (Bosch is pretty average in every sense, but also trustworthy). It is easier to buy Bosch (Blue Series) than Hiltis. I also do like the stackable Sortimo L-BOXXes that Bosch uses these days: http://www.sortimo.com/products/cases-boxxes/ http://www.sortimo.com/products/cases-boxxes/.
- reitanqild 10y agoHilti T605 or something. Oh those memories. Best job I ever had until then :-) Noisy, boring but well-paid and the first time I worked for a company that enforced safety regulations. Oh, and they paid extremely well compared to what I was used to.
- glasz 10y agothx for the info! speaking of bosch: i will recommend https://www.festool.com https://www.festool.com over anything else. they also offer sortimo-like boxes.
