I am very satisfied with the Makita 4 strokes used one for about over than two years sawing residential foundations at various depths also gone through rebar like a pice of cake she will start right up at my second pull you just need to know your engine also she will star the same even when very cold 20 below cero because if you don’t know when your engine needs to be choked you will ended up choking it that will happen to any engine no matter what brand is. I ran chain saw for about 10 years cutting timber and all together I have 20 + years of experience with different engines.😊
In my opinion you need to use the same blade on all of the saws so you don’t have blade advantages. I would like a comparison of the different saws using all the same blade. I use the Husqvarna and the Dewalt at work all the time and they both have their uses.
Stihl 10 times out of 10, I have been using them for over 20 years and the number one thing they have over all other saws I've used is the ability to rotate counter clockwise when cutting. Stihl has the nice handle bar all the way around so you can cut at any angle.
The best thing about battery is your power is there instantly. There's a guy out there who made a drag car powered by military helicopter batterys. He ended up crashing it because of the power being to instant and he couldn't get a good enough grip and lost control. Just think where power tools will be in I would even say in the near future.

Saying you cannot ruin the engine the 4 stroke Makita is not true. Most concrete saws are not burnt up due to lack of lubrication as you stated, the more common occurrence would be dirt ingestion due to a dirty contaminated air filter that needs to be replaced. Keep in mind even on a 4 stroke replacing the air filter is a key factor to making your equipment last, also you must change the oil regularly. 2 stokes are still the best and will remain for many years to come. Also if you are not smart enough to mix your oil and gas properly you probably don’t need to be using a concrete saw to begin with. Next Echo should work on building a decent chainsaw before they try to make a concrete saw. The only chainsaws that are halfway decent is Echo is CS400 ca-490 and the CS600p.
Iloveapplefritters I am sorry the media has tricked you into thinking this... I own a multimillion dollar company that uses this equipment on a heavy industrial basis daily and also I used to work for the OEMs of all of the saws shown above and I have seen how things hold up on a larger scale. It’s hard to tell everyone that one way is better than another due to personal experience only, personal experience helps however you have only seen .000001 percent of the units in the world and how they actually hold up. I serviced thousands of these on a weekly basis and I can tell you that 100% handheld 2 stoke equipment lasts longer than the handheld 4 stroke if properly maintained. Generally speaking atvs dirt bikes cars etc 4 stroke last way longer however the small engine companies above have not yet perfected their platforms for 4 stroke Therefore as of today 2 stroke does lasts longer if properly maintained. 4 cycle will last a long time also if maintained properly. And if you don’t believe me and you’d rather believe people like the ones who do these videos who are endorsed by the OEMs go right ahead. No one is paying me a dime I just like to help people from wasting their money because it is so hard to make now days.
we just use an electric Husqvarna at work. It is maybe a 12 inch blade. Does the job for the amount we use it for. The DeWALT cordless would probably be a better option for our crew since we don't use concrete saws for large jobs. Mostly cutting the occasional joints in driveway or garage floors.
Husky k970. Great for stone work. Has crazy power and doesn't bind up when you push through your stone. Like to use the k760 for block and brick. Little lighter so you have a bit more control for compound cuts.
Stanley hands down best concrete saw is the Hilti not even kidding best 2 stroke engine impossible to flud and if you do you can start it fludded in one pull and they just cut the quickest been doing asphalt for years so tried then all out and hilti has the best support they come out swap your saw with a loaner while your saw gets fixed and the hilti van brings it back fixed and swaps them out

You may not like the Hilti saws but in the rental game they are 100% the best because of the warranty and service that Hilti provides. A customer will bring one back to me with a hole melted through the piston and we send it to Hilti and they have it back to us in 3 days running like brand new.
I just bought my dad a brand new 770 hus. An he loves it. I couldn't make it home for first stop up he call me on video an show me her. A power house. He owns still which is a good saw. But he likes the new 770 hus. The best love u dad.
Dry cutting is not recommended for several reasons. Using water not only prolongs the blade and life of the saw but also prolongs your life. Silica dust kills
@@justencase1523 if it weren't for reading several reviews of the Hilti cut off saws like this one I would have bought one, was so close. I am glad I didn't. I love all my Hilti products but there's too much plastic on their cut off saw and its heavy. I have two Stihl a ts410 and ts420 and just recently picked up a husqvarna k770 haven't used it yet but have a feeling I will enjoy this saw
You completely missed the boat you didn't test the best concrete saw in the market I own a commercial masonry company and I can tell you nothing beats Hilti concrete saws and I especially like the direct-mount pump I work in elevations between 4000 and 10000 ft - temperatures and above a hundred degrees and the Hilti runs perfect every time And I found their economy diamond blades cut great last a long time and are priced pretty reasonably for a commercial grade blade They're actually cheaper than some of the blades at home Depot and a heck of a lot better
Hahaha I own a commercial masonry company as well…they are doing exactly what all my guys are doing…it doesn’t matter what kind of saw they use as long as they float the valves nonstop they will turn junk. (Reving the motor to max before cutting) blades do the work nit the saw…I’m half the age of all my men and I still can’t get them to grasp this. I have 8 760s in the shop dead, 3 ts 420 dead 3 770s and one 970..the 770s aren’t even a year old. I won’t even let anyone mix the fuel but I…I hear them float the valves every day..I gave up on trying to teach them to let the blade do the work rather that racking out the saw for a 4” cut 😂
Joshua Gibbs You are right Fella, these guys are all animals and dont give a sh1t about their or anyone elses tools. Rev the bo11ocks out of them from stone cold, ram into the cut and switch off when red hot then try and run 2strokes on neat gas and diesels on water. I run my equipment to earn a living and a saw will last me around 10 years and when i am persuaded to lend one out, lasts around 10 minutes. Have a good 2022.
I have a stihl ts 800 rated at 6.5hp with 16in blade that i love. It cuts bigger pipe. But it is heavy. I have a nice lite makitia with a 14 in blade that wont cut as deep and lacks the power but dam is it it lighter. I run what ever blade is cheap the day i need a blade. The reason i like gas saws is gas is in a bottle and battery’s need to charge. The makita has been rebuilt 4-5 times in 15 yrs not bad but a decent service bill. The stihl eats belts but we stock them. I see alot of huskys in the field and stihls. But everyone always is in aww when i pull out the 800.
Sharing this to my boss (we do concrete) for the blades. We have a Husqvarna, and it works like a champ....if you are experienced with such equipment. Yes, Husqvarna does run a little loose but a firm and steady grip once you start cutting sraightens up nicely.
Big factor is to go with who your local shop likes to work with. Mainly Stihl and husqvarna. That way when there’s and issue, you get the sort fixed quick and cheap as they don’t have to send it away or wait on parts as often. K760 takes some beating. And even though it’s less refined than newer models the ts400 is the most reliable saw ever made. Just keep going and very simple.
Stanley, What is the best brand and model of Concrete saw blade to use for rebar reinforced concrete? I have a 16" wet/dry saw. Thank you for your time.
I have the Stihl ts 800 same as 700 but can run 14" blade or 16". I run 16," for greater depth of cut. Been beating it for 6 years probably made $ 60,000 off it so far definitely a money maker and needed tool.
the Makita has wheels to roll on concrete or ashpalt which is a nice touch! only reason i went with it i do a lot of smaller patch work so it was perfect for me
This is silly, theres no mention of diameter, hp, or rpm????! How can you even make a comparison based off of subjective analysis? Id take the one which was able to run at the highest rpm under the same load which was a 16'' Cannot compare a 16'' to a 14" And when franky cuts across the other cuts!!!? How is that even worthy of a comparison???
@@Travis.Ryckman right people should look up the numbers, but sometimes the numbers are wrong, as when craftsman says theyre getting a higher hp than is possible out of a 15a socket. The reason the Dewalt felt so good to these guys is that it had a smaller diameter blade. The bigger the blade the harder it is to run because of the longer leverage arm of the blade.
Best saw blades and core bore bits I have ever used are from a company in Elyria Ohio called diamond products.. their speedy cut saw is awesome.. great products from a American company
Funny to read this comment. I just bought a K770 and a diamond blade from them about an hour ago. Great guys! Dynatech Diamond. Anybody in the Cleveland area should check them out
The the Ohio Account Manager for World Diamond Source and I go up against DYNATECH and Diamond Products core cut series and come out on top everytime. Doesn’t matter what industry. 754-235-6334. Feel free to reach out
Im suprised you said Hilti was the worst one you ever used. I recently used a DSH 700x and it ran and started like a dream. Was one of the better gas ones ive tried. However still aint got nun on the handiness of the stihl TSA 230 battery saw
I really dont mind buying used as its much cheaper and I can fix them myself. Saves money and so far even with cost of parts/my time its worked out pretty well. Plus its fun to tinker on these kind of things.
I am buying a stihl 420 tonight for $400. First thing I’ll do is pull it apart and give a port job, I just can’t help myself when it comes to two strokes. I live at 5280’ above sea level.
I have a 700 Stihl and MOSTLY love it. The problem with it is if you put it on the stihl cart, the cart frame is directly in front of the fitting to hook the water hose up to. I expect better from Stihl. If you are putting a water hookup on a tool at the very least design it so water can be connected to it!
Cayuga & 35E had to look at this twice because I drive past there frequently.... Did't know your business is in the Metro. Will you do work in Stillwater?
Guess you haven't heard about the new OSHA Silica law 1926.1153 that went into effect 9-23-2017 concrete dust is considered hazardous material in dust and slurry form and your putting this on video they might come knocking on your door. I know this because we are a concrete removal company inside and outside removal we spent thousands on new vacuum systems for dust.
Personal experience is Husqvarna best in business. Lightest and easiest to start. With the stihl I find it’s too finicky if you don’t get it started within one or two pulls , it’s flooded.
Vacuum hose on the drills and you better keep that dust to a minimum in the open air, even though I hate using water near a hot saw, can't win for losing, 10k plus OHSA fines, blood thirsty monsters they are.

30 years of cutting concrete. The Stihl ts 420 is the most versatile of all the saws. The top handle is easier on your back if u need to cut a floor without the cart or just about any application. Not saying the bigger horsepower saws don't cut faster, but who wants to lug around that weight all the time.
Gotta figure too - the dewalt saw is probably cutting faster cause the blade is smaller. It has a smaller contact area through the cut. Just got the m18 version for small cuts into sidewalk at work, and I’m impressed with how fast it is. I dont have other saws to compare it to, but in general that little saw is very impressive.
Husqvarna K1270! Ever heard of it? 112CC in 14" or 16". I am about to buy one. I owned a K970 and I absolutely loved it. Sorry but as reputable as Stihl is I don't care for the demo saws. Chainsaws, pole pruners, trimmers, all that stuff is mint. I don't care for the demos though. I also owned a Wacker Neuson it was a 70 or 70 something. Hands down best cutoff saw I ever ran. So upset Wacker stopped making them. I wish I didn't sell mine. It was so bad a$$!!!
The Stihl with the shocker would be the beast. I own all Stihl (chainsaw,blower,trimmer)because I shop local be have no reason to switch. I did trim with a Echo but it was heavy to me. I love the 2 stroke sound. Great video.
i have the makita... i like it.. you can also flip the blade around and cut close to a wall.. I'm saying this early in the video not knowing if you cover that or not..
I have a concrete house that I will like to remove some walls to add extra room and to add sliding doors, what electric saw and blades do you recommend for inexperienced people and the best price,? Thanks
Hoosqvarna? Lol Personal experience is Husqvarna best in business. Lightest and easiest to start. With the stihl I find it’s too finicky if you don’t get it started within one or two pulls , it’s flooded.
I have used husqvarna, echo, makita , and stihl, I like stihl better but personal I think ts420 the TS 700 Or 800 it's too big and heavy ... so the TS420 it's the best because the handles and cut quicker than the rest the new Stihl TS 500 it's little heavier too
If it weren't for the old man's honesty this demonstration would've been garbage. I'm only halfway through the show and am gaging over your partiality. I don't even need to mention what products you're selling, everyone can tell. If you ever start working for Consumer Report Magazine then that would be when they start going out of business.
Appreciate the demos. However, all the video shows is the cutting of concrete/masonry/stone on a downward angle. The demos maybe fine for that specific application but to me that's only part of the story on these saws. We primarily use our saws to cut steel and various kinds of metals day in, day out. Jump on that Makita or Husqvarna and try some overhead cutting. Try it sideways at the waist. Try it more than once. Try it all day long. Nope, not going to last an hour with any of those saws except maybe the Dewalt and of course the TS 420. I cut steel from every imaginable angle on pretty much a daily basis. Climbing over or crawling under the TS 420 is the tool of choice for production type metal cutting. The Dewalt looks and sounds stout for what it is, but I'm not convinced it could withstand the kind of abuse we put our saws through. That said, it would be fun to put one in the field for a week just for giggles. As far as the TS 420 goes, it's compact and portable, it's user friendly with the top handle design, it's lightweight yet powerful and the wrap around front handle allows for cutting from nearly any angle or position. It's by far the hands down winner in my line of work. The fact that Stihl's parts and repair network is unparalleled just adds to it's appeal. We need our saws to be on the job, not in the shop. For me, it's the TS420 hands down. And as bonus it'll cut cinder block if the need arises. BTW the 700 went through the block faster and smoother than the 970 with the touted blade. Video don't lie. Watch again.
Hi I have a concrete house that I will like to remove some walls to make bigger rooms and others to add sliding doors, I can only count with relatives for the project, what will be the best electric cutter and blades for inexperience user and the best price? Thanks
Just buy the best blades you can afford. The power behind it is irrelevant. Example, would a 300 pound construction worker saw wood faster with a blunt saw than a 150 pound novice with a brand new Rip saw? The Cutting Edge is Everything.

Awesome review as expected, sorry Tim I know you are the boss so set the example and wear glasses u only have one set of eyes.Thanks for the entertainment
Hilti has a fleet of service vans that will fix the saw at your work site. They are the best and carry all parts for hilti tools. I can't say mutch about sthil and the dealers disappoint me time after time.

He ended up crashing it because of the power being to instant and he couldn't get a good enough grip and lost control. Just think where power tools will be in I would even say in the near future.
That dewalts a beast and if I were Dewalt I'd make a full-size saw with 2 batteries
Gas saws better
Yeah gas is better but for smaller jobs you can't beat battery operated

Dry cutting is not recommended for several reasons. Using water not only prolongs the blade and life of the saw but also prolongs your life. Silica dust kills
Could you get into more detail on why you have a dislike towards the hilti saw? Is it a personal experience or multiple issues throughout the years?
I rented one so I dealt with a rental so it is not a personal owned one. It ran hot, and vibrated so badly that my hands hurt for a day.

the Makita has wheels to roll on concrete or ashpalt which is a nice touch! only reason i went with it i do a lot of smaller patch work so it was perfect for me
This is silly, theres no mention of diameter, hp, or rpm????! How can you even make a comparison based off of subjective analysis? Id take the one which was able to run at the highest rpm under the same load which was a 16'' Cannot compare a 16'' to a 14" And when franky cuts across the other cuts!!!? How is that even worthy of a comparison???
You're gonna spend like a grand and not look up the numbers?
@@Travis.Ryckman right people should look up the numbers, but sometimes the numbers are wrong, as when craftsman says theyre getting a higher hp than is possible out of a 15a socket. The reason the Dewalt felt so good to these guys is that it had a smaller diameter blade. The bigger the blade the harder it is to run because of the longer leverage arm of the blade.
16” blades suck in a lot of situations. Too much wobble out of them.
Stihl 420 beats all of them been pouring concrete since 1986 every other saws are junk getting ready to buy a Stihl 230 battery operated
It is the blade that does the cutting not the machine
Best saw blades and core bore bits I have ever used are from a company in Elyria Ohio called diamond products.. their speedy cut saw is awesome.. great products from a American company
Funny to read this comment. I just bought a K770 and a diamond blade from them about an hour ago. Great guys! Dynatech Diamond. Anybody in the Cleveland area should check them out
The the Ohio Account Manager for World Diamond Source and I go up against DYNATECH and Diamond Products core cut series and come out on top everytime. Doesn’t matter what industry. 754-235-6334. Feel free to reach out
i like how you got people opinions and used that to decide the best, not just this one cuts faster. nice video
Appreciate that, thank you!
@@Dirtmonkey those concrete saws are awesome
Im suprised you said Hilti was the worst one you ever used. I recently used a DSH 700x and it ran and started like a dream. Was one of the better gas ones ive tried. However still aint got nun on the handiness of the stihl TSA 230 battery saw
Hilti 700 I used blew the doors off the stihls the company I worked for. Little heavier
Mines going into its 4th year. I dunno what he is talking about.
I really dont mind buying used as its much cheaper and I can fix them myself. Saves money and so far even with cost of parts/my time its worked out pretty well. Plus its fun to tinker on these kind of things.
Oh and if anyone has any "bad" saws or saws they dont want to mess with let me know!
I am buying a stihl 420 tonight for $400. First thing I’ll do is pull it apart and give a port job, I just can’t help myself when it comes to two strokes. I live at 5280’ above sea level.
I have a 700 Stihl and MOSTLY love it. The problem with it is if you put it on the stihl cart, the cart frame is directly in front of the fitting to hook the water hose up to. I expect better from Stihl. If you are putting a water hookup on a tool at the very least design it so water can be connected to it!
Cayuga & 35E had to look at this twice because I drive past there frequently.... Did't know your business is in the Metro. Will you do work in Stillwater?
love your video dude. I like when you film job sites, just wondering if you are going to make anymore of those types of videos.
Thanks so much, planning on it !
Guess you haven't heard about the new OSHA Silica law 1926.1153 that went into effect 9-23-2017 concrete dust is considered hazardous material in dust and slurry form and your putting this on video they might come knocking on your door. I know this because we are a concrete removal company inside and outside removal we spent thousands on new vacuum systems for dust.
Yup vacuum it or wet it. The dust is bad bad bad on the lungs.
He don’t care. It’s to hard to get a hose for water. That or big big fines.
Personal experience is Husqvarna best in business. Lightest and easiest to start. With the stihl I find it’s too finicky if you don’t get it started within one or two pulls , it’s flooded.
Vacuum hose on the drills and you better keep that dust to a minimum in the open air, even though I hate using water near a hot saw, can't win for losing, 10k plus OHSA fines, blood thirsty monsters they are.
I need one for cutting metal...a sawzall is killing my hands after all these years

We have a sick metal blade
Husqvarna k1270 and K970 works great in a cart
All those saws heads are loose by design for vibration and impact dampening.
30 years of cutting concrete. The Stihl ts 420 is the most versatile of all the saws. The top handle is easier on your back if u need to cut a floor without the cart or just about any application. Not saying the bigger horsepower saws don't cut faster, but who wants to lug around that weight all the time.
Matt Martinson they are lighter too, they are easier to guide
Was I the only one who was worried about Frankie when he was starting the husqvarna with his hood laces hanging that close to the blade?
Get a 1 gallon sprayer to there isn't so much dust..
Gotta figure too - the dewalt saw is probably cutting faster cause the blade is smaller. It has a smaller contact area through the cut. Just got the m18 version for small cuts into sidewalk at work, and I’m impressed with how fast it is. I dont have other saws to compare it to, but in general that little saw is very impressive.
Husqvarna K1270! Ever heard of it? 112CC in 14" or 16". I am about to buy one. I owned a K970 and I absolutely loved it. Sorry but as reputable as Stihl is I don't care for the demo saws. Chainsaws, pole pruners, trimmers, all that stuff is mint. I don't care for the demos though. I also owned a Wacker Neuson it was a 70 or 70 something. Hands down best cutoff saw I ever ran. So upset Wacker stopped making them. I wish I didn't sell mine. It was so bad a$$!!!
The Stihl with the shocker would be the beast. I own all Stihl (chainsaw,blower,trimmer)because I shop local be have no reason to switch. I did trim with a Echo but it was heavy to me. I love the 2 stroke sound. Great video.
i have the makita... i like it.. you can also flip the blade around and cut close to a wall.. I'm saying this early in the video not knowing if you cover that or not..
I have a concrete house that I will like to remove some walls to add extra room and to add sliding doors, what electric saw and blades do you recommend for inexperienced people and the best price,? Thanks
Hoosqvarna? Lol
Personal experience is Husqvarna best in business. Lightest and easiest to start. With the stihl I find it’s too finicky if you don’t get it started within one or two pulls , it’s flooded.
I have used husqvarna, echo, makita , and stihl, I like stihl better but personal I think ts420 the TS 700 Or 800 it's too big and heavy ... so the TS420 it's the best because the handles and cut quicker than the rest the new Stihl TS 500 it's little heavier too
Have both Husqvarna and stihl, personally I like the stihl better because it just feels good in your hands and never gives me trouble on start up
Have you used the TIGER TOOTH BLADE ?
If it weren't for the old man's honesty this demonstration would've been garbage. I'm only halfway through the show and am gaging over your partiality. I don't even need to mention what products you're selling, everyone can tell. If you ever start working for Consumer Report Magazine then that would be when they start going out of business.
Could have been a great demonstration if you'd given some thought to PPE!
Appreciate the demos. However, all the video shows is the cutting of concrete/masonry/stone on a downward angle. The demos maybe fine for that specific application but to me that's only part of the story on these saws. We primarily use our saws to cut steel and various kinds of metals day in, day out. Jump on that Makita or Husqvarna and try some overhead cutting. Try it sideways at the waist. Try it more than once. Try it all day long. Nope, not going to last an hour with any of those saws except maybe the Dewalt and of course the TS 420. I cut steel from every imaginable angle on pretty much a daily basis. Climbing over or crawling under the TS 420 is the tool of choice for production type metal cutting. The Dewalt looks and sounds stout for what it is, but I'm not convinced it could withstand the kind of abuse we put our saws through. That said, it would be fun to put one in the field for a week just for giggles. As far as the TS 420 goes, it's compact and portable, it's user friendly with the top handle design, it's lightweight yet powerful and the wrap around front handle allows for cutting from nearly any angle or position. It's by far the hands down winner in my line of work. The fact that Stihl's parts and repair network is unparalleled just adds to it's appeal. We need our saws to be on the job, not in the shop. For me, it's the TS420 hands down. And as bonus it'll cut cinder block if the need arises.
BTW the 700 went through the block faster and smoother than the 970 with the touted blade. Video don't lie. Watch again.
Hi I have a concrete house that I will like to remove some walls to make bigger rooms and others to add sliding doors, I can only count with relatives for the project, what will be the best electric cutter and blades for inexperience user and the best price? Thanks
Just buy the best blades you can afford. The power behind it is irrelevant.
Example, would a 300 pound construction worker saw wood faster with a blunt saw than a 150 pound novice with a brand new Rip saw? The Cutting Edge is Everything.
ESCH “The Boss” is the best blade I’ve used. Cuts like butter.

Would love to win you over
@@bladesdirect and
Wehre is the HILTI saw??
I own an older Husqvarna k750...it definitely likes to gyroscope when you are between cuts
Stihll saw only needs 1 pull on 1st choke then will pop on half choke
Hahaha I own a commercial masonry company as well…they are doing exactly what all my guys are doing…it doesn’t matter what kind of saw they use as long as they float the valves nonstop they will turn junk. (Reving the motor to max before cutting) blades do the work nit the saw…I’m half the age of all my men and I still can’t get them to grasp this. I have 8 760s in the shop dead, 3 ts 420 dead 3 770s and one 970..the 770s aren’t even a year old. I won’t even let anyone mix the fuel but I…I hear them float the valves every day..I gave up on trying to teach them to let the blade do the work rather that racking out the saw for a 4” cut 😂
You make a really good point. Thanks. so Don't rev it- go slower into the cut.
@@Dirtmonkey I would love to try the 4 stroke. I have a lot of issues with air leaks in the husq as well. I’m surprised you don’t like the hilti, I have never personally used one but everyone around here raves over them. Hilti has the best electric jackhammer bar none…at least 3 years ago.
Only thing I don’t like about the 700 is the string break off so easy . You should be able to pull the string without it snapping.
I run a solo and a Husqvarna....I've run Hilti I thought it was a pretty good saw ....I absolutely hate stihl you couldn't give me one
You guys only adjust the guard correctly on the Mikita Saw at 26 min into the video - not fair really.
I just rented the Makita from home depot. No problem starting, no problem using it. I liked it.
Awesome review as expected, sorry Tim I know you are the boss so set the example and wear glasses u only have one set of eyes.Thanks for the entertainment
Thanks , appreciate it !
Seems like the real working folk crew call the shots B
Hilti has a fleet of service vans that will fix the saw at your work site. They are the best and carry all parts for hilti tools. I can't say mutch about sthil and the dealers disappoint me time after time.
i cut my rock with a scepter--totally silent!
The only question i have is there any difference between the blades and speed of cut if you was to run them with water? Keeping the blade cooler ect
omg You had me dying when you did the edit of Tim holding the 700. lol
Lol, thanks for watching !
this guy cuts horrible he puts about 1 pound of pressure on the saws. i use a husqvarna 770 love it i just got the dewalt for backup
Out of curiosity how does the shocker blade due with asphalt?
Jumps around to much, not scientific. Saws should all use the same blade.
He really needs to keep his hoodie drawstrings out of the action! 👍
I was Debating on stihl or husqvarna, husqvarna I save $500
Looking like shawn michaels with cowboy hat on lol. Good vid!
Appreciate it, thanks!
I like how fast those stihl engines burn out. And long-lasting... You might get a whole 10+ hours out of one.
Obviously never mixed gas right
dewalt flexvolt 12 A/H (60 volt test it out
TS500 is the largest saw with 2 top mounted handles. The difference between the TS700 and TS800 is the 800 has a 16" blade over the 14" of the 700.
The k970 husky is the saw you want.
