[Shop-talk] Milwaukee chainsaw

[Darrell Walker]

OK, a few thoughts.

I’ve bought most of my Milwaukee stuff from Northern Tool.  I think they are fairly price-controlled, but Northern will often kick in a future credit sometimes.

Another brand you might look at is Stihl.  I have a hedge trimmer, and it is a joy to use.  I with I had more hedges to trim!  But I don’t think you can get Stihl online, you need to go to a local dealer, if that is an issue.

These manufactures have dozens of products that are all seemingly the same, but have different part numbers or model numbers, with differences that you can't find without digging or being in the industry.
