None of my old Craftsman saws or current Stihl products come apart that easily. Even brand new ones, much less old clunkers. It just disassembled like it was made to be rebuilt.

I was even impressed with the rope starter. It seems to go on for starting, then off for the work. Who ever thunk of that? Pretty cool. It was designed in a parallel universe I guess. Using the battery for treating the metal as part of the rebuild was interesting.

And he has hand tools/sockets. Bet they were smuggled in from the west. All worked well. I wonder if the Ruskies actually have and manufacture that kind of thing. Ya think they stole that technology from the west?

I can't wait until our German and Japanese manufacturers start making saws like this!
