So yesterday I went to trim up a big tree in my yard. My 24 year old homelite 16 inch chain saw started right up. But as soon as I put a load on it the thing died. So I fiddled with it for about an hour and didn't get any improvement. So I decided I'm going to get a new one. I went to home depot and saw the echo es400.
So as I am checking out a pro in full tree trimming regalia says to me "I wouldn't buy that they are junk". So of course I doubted my decision, he's a pro right? I go home research this saw and it has 4.8 stars out of 5... pretty good, I think.
I'm a homeowner I might use it 10 hrs a year.
Do I keep it or take it back? My crappy (but reliable) Homelite lasted 24 years. Sometimes pros are a little too much.
