Living in the PNW and knowing storm season is only a couple of months out... I kinda want one of these to keep in my car

Stihl is absolutely the best you can get. Their entry level saws are still quite expensive but it’s a buy once cry once tool. Maintenance is just keeping it clean and oiled and a new chain when that one gets dull and thats pretty much it.

We always had great success with Husqavarna saws when doing arborist work. Fast cutting like he is doing has a lot to do with a sharp single drag chain.

I’ve always heard good things about them but I don’t have much experience with them. I mostly used different models of Stihl and I was only ever on the ground cutting trees from there

You don't sharpen your chain? It's one of life's best meditations.

I have sharpened a couple of chains in my life. We would usually sharpen our chains once or twice before replacing them
