    I do the same. Storing over the winter is no problem but since I have several saws some of them may sit for years, plus the larger saws have had compression release problems and the cogs breaking on the ratchet on the starter cord.

    Still, I've had Homelite, Pouland, and Husquvana and the Stihl's are far better. They seem to be what the pro's use as well.

    Also have a Stihl leaf blower, 3 Stihl line trimmers, and a Stihl hedge trimmer and pole saw, both with the extended pole.

      I have one chain saw; it is a Mccullah 10/10, I have had it since the beginning. I have used it with an Alaskan 24" sawmill attachment. If I found another used 10/10, I would be interested in determining how many miles/hours are left in it.

        My wife got involved, she ordered 110 volt Black and Decker powered handsaw, I have 3 receipting saws, for some reason they did not count. I have two table saws with one arm saw, and then there is the 220 volt Dewalt commercial 12" cast iron table saw.

        The Black & Decker was too powerful for me to hold the wood and cut it at the same time. All it would do was shake the wood.
