I just picked up my new chainsaw, went with a Husky 455 Rancher. It was between it and a Stihl MS290 and I just liked the feel of the husky better and didnt care for the quick release caps on the Stihls gas and oil tanks. Havent cut anything with it yet but I fired it up when I got home to check it out. Man this thing will scream.

That 455 will run a 24 inch bar no problem. With a 20 inch bar, you can't stop it. You'll be happy with your new saw.

Stihl had a recall on their gas caps for their trimmers...I would bet the same caps are on the chainsaws.

I don't understand why they couldn't leave those alone. I never had a problem with the spin off caps.
