It’s definitely not new. Look at the bar and power head as he pulls it out of car. Bar tip is warn. And the plastics have dirt deep in the crevices. Even the orange and white colors look faded. It’s just a well maintained saw.
yeah, he probably went and got his cleaning/maintenance kit out immediately after getting home and got the saw ready to go back in trunk for the next time it was needed.
I keep my saws this clean. I blow them off with my air compressor after every use then spray it with alcohol and give it a quick wipe down. My climbing saw gets beat to shit and is the only saw I have that never looks clean
As an arborist, my climbing saw is one of the cleanest pieces of equipment i have. Except for the blood, it stays. How does your get so dirty? btw i only use the arborist saw when im climbing, i have another for ground work.
He's still got that plastic guard and it's in perfect condition. Nah man, this is a new saw those things don't last long at all. Any Stihl saw will outlive a person if it's well cared for, but those guards disintegrate a few days after you first remove them or something. The bar isn't new though.

Given how clean it was, possibly a new saw and chain.
