    I noticed that they are down to 89 this week. Did anyone try these before? Thinking of getting just for some light work.

    I'd also like to know, seems like a great deal if it is a rebranded husky. Lidl site says its 51cc too

    Picked it up today but won't get using it until the weekend. At worst it'll do for cutting up some felled trees, worth a shot at 89 quid

    Just an update on this (might be a bit late at this stage) but the saw got a great run out this weekend and it didn't let me down. Plenty of power, no issues in operation, and made light work of quite a few fallen trees.

    The casing around the engine is cheap and the on-off switch is in a daft place so I managed to accidentally turn it off a few times! But the chain quality was good, it got well pinched a couple of times (operator's fault!) and survived with no damage and it had plenty of cutting power. Definitely worth the 90 quid anyway, has already paid for itself in firewood!

    Thanks. Went looking for one in my local this evening but none left. Going to try elsewhere tomorrow.
