As an owner and operator of a lawn care service in Florida since 1981, our family has had the need of powerful chainsaws for many years. Not only for our business, but also as a homeowner in Florida. There are many times we need to do cutting jobs around the house. We have purchased and used different brands of chainsaws. This article will discuss whether the Sthil Chainsaw price, which is a bit higher than other comparable brands, is justified.
When we began our lawn care service in 1981, one of our first major power tools purchases was a chainsaw. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the brand, yet I do remember it did its job quite well the first two yeas and then began having minor problems. Even though we always completed proper maintenance, the first chainsaw did not last very long.
We needed another chainsaw in 1987, and decided on a Stihl, even though the Stihl chainsaw price was more than other comparable brands. We felt it would be a good investment. Little did we know how good of an investment it would be!
The difference in its performance compared to our previous chainsaw was outstanding. As the years went by, we performed regular servicing and maintenance on our Stihl Chainsaw and also did minor repair work on it. Our Stihl chainsaw also helped us after a major storm.
Two years ago, while watching television one evening (during the hurricane season), a storm was raging (we have Direct TV, which usually stays connected even in the worst weather, and goes out during a light shower - go figure). Suddenly we heard a huge crack and boom. It sounded to me like our back porch's roof had been peeled back. We jumped up, grabbed flashlights and headed outside. The roof was fine; our lawn care rig's enclosure was fine. None of our yard's trees were down. We could not find anything that could have made the HUGE noise.
The next morning, the mystery revealed itself. Our neighbors behind us had one of their monstrous oak trees split in half. Part of the split oak tree landed on our back fence and was crushing our hibiscus hedges. Luckily, the fence did not take the full brunt of the weight.
I ran and got my trusty Stihl Chainsaw. It started on the second pull, and readily helped me cut up the huge limbs and branches lying on our fence. It did not take much time at all. In fact, it took more time gathering and throwing the cut up branches onto the truck, then cutting them up!
This is just an example of the durability and long-lasting capability of a Stihl chainsaw. It was 20 years old when it performed this surprise yard job. If you think about it, we actually saved money by purchasing the higher priced Stihl chainsaw. Instead of buying two or three chainsaws over 20 years, we only had to buy one and maintain it.
In summary, yes, the Stihl Chainsaw price is justified by its incredible performance and durability.
