Growing up, we had an old blue Homelite that my grandpa had used. I cut chord after chord of wood. Literally, hundreds of them. If you're from the south.. that would be a rick x 2. I've heard many people say that those old blue Homelites were the best saw ever built. I don't know... but back in the 90's they re-introduced them, so I bought one. It's been a good saw and still cuts well, but it's not the saw the old one was.
Today's saws use chain speed to cut. This Homelite just uses torque and muscles though everything. It'll run about 20 minutes on a tank of gas.. which is fine, because you're ready to put that heavy SOB down. The Stihl saws we use at work work well, but you can force them into the cut and stop the chain pretty easily.
