Chainsaws: Owner Review

The Husqvarna 55.

I'll wont bore you with details as these are readily available but I have to say that the 55 is probably the best chainsaw I've ever used. Its light weight in my opinion, easy to handle and to maintain. Comes with a nifty tool for the spark plug, chain-bar mount nuts and screwdriver that fits easily into your pocket so you can keep it with you out on the wood pile.

I have the 18" bar on mine and the saw in general cuts through trees like they were not there, well, almost.Starts on the 3rd pull at most when it has not been used in a few days and on the first pull during the course of the cutting day. All the spare parts like chains & bars etc seem readily available. The 55 has more HP than some of the other Husqvarna 18" chainsaws and that was certainly a deciding factor when I purchased mine. I've used it for 7 hours so far over 3 days and have had no problems with vibration or any sort of tingle in my hands or fingers. No problems with my back from the weight bending over for long periods of time.
