Not sure if it's you or sadly me but I was expecting pages of Barnacle genitalia, reproductive processes and uses in the kitchen.
I doff my cap for my doubt.

...I'm off to town to buy my son a chainsaw...me being a brand loyal type of egg and loving my Stihls for many years does not mean that I should automatically buy the same for him, but probably will...or a Husky...anyone want to add anything before I get in my truck and speed off...Stihl or Husqvarna?...

Don't write off Solo. My local farm centre sells them with full back up, parts etc. Spoke to some local owners & they highly rate them even as a commercial saw. Significantly sharper price, too.
I've knocked the snot out of mine & it still starts & runs like new. Admittedly it runs Castrol TTS now.
Just sayin.

stihl. if you're using it all day, and you're not an orangutan. the balance is fucking perfect and side by side with other brands they're lighter, better vibe damping..wank wank wank.
get stihl. unless you hate him. then go bunnings and buy poolan.

What does he intend to do with it? If it is an occasional use saw, then go with the cheaper brands and show him how to look after it . If he wants to do some serious work, Husky. Sthil are out for me until they can compete with husky on parts prices.

Oil pump drive on both my 023 and 025 wear out fairly quickly with prolonged use, and they are fucked if they nip up thanks to the chrome bores that sthil like to use.

thats what KB is for though, right?Im sure there is a ladies thread around somewhere you can post about your toys.
I actually bought it as a "one job" thing one sunday when the "proper" shops were all shut. It is surprising what the thing has cut. I did a "safety course" years ago with some graphic pics so I am pretty careful about the thing...

Actually I got a ryobi one from the dump years ago, that I use to cut up pallets with. It cuts nails and all, not bad for a freebie.

...drove straight to the Stihl shop...done...they also just happened to have a show week discount going on...
I'ma get medieval on your ass!
Stihl. Between my brother and I we have five of them. He's a farmer and I'm just obsessive/compulsive.
Stihl are expensive and if you wanted to put time and effort into selecting another manufacturer you could possibly find better bang for your buck.
However if you are comfortable with Stihl and familiar with their saws then I'd say stay with what you know. They are utterly reliable and very easy to sell second-hand. My advice - if you can, buy a pro saw. That's the even numbered Stihls - MS261, MS441 etc.
I regard my 066 the same way I regarded my (deceased) Ducati.

Just an additional comment - Stihl NZ are not stupid. They know you can buy a 40cc saw at Mitre 10 for $299. So Stihl have been gradually reducing their prices in recent years.
I bought an 025 in 1997 for $600. Today you can buy the new saw for $780 on sale (maybe less) which is cheaper in real terms than in 1997.
