Husqvarna 445, its the top end of the consumer market, really a prosumer saw. The bottom end is plastic which reduces vibration and makes it real light for the size. I've had mine for about 10 years now, the average homeowner will never wear one out. Keep an extra chain on hand for when you run yours into the ground or a rock or whatever. They go dull instantly. Whatever you buy get a gallon of canned premix. Yes its way more expensive than mixing your own but its shelf stable. I used to put 3/4 gallon of chainsaw gas through the lawnmower every year, no more... -Curt

Since it would be something I would rarely use, I’m not looking to buy a large professional grade Husqvarna or something like that necessarily. However, I would like a good quality saw, not a HF sort of machine.
