    How long do your saws last?

    Yeah, that's about how much I use per year. Been stocking up when it goes on sale in January for several years now.

    You guys must have shitty pump gas over there. People complain about our gas in the USA but at least around here it isn't a problem.

    How long do your saws last?

    I can't remember the last time I wore out the engine in a saw. I use synthetic mix oil though. I run saws until they fall apart. The cases and screw holes stripping out, etc. I bought a half dozen 200T top handles back when Stihl quit making them and I'm still running 5 of them. I keep two on...
