Bringing this back to life.

Looking at either the newer model Echo PPT 2620 vs the Stihl HT103. The Echo is a little heavier but I've read that the extension piece is a little sturdier than that of the Stihl. Some users claim the extension on the Stihl seemed to bind up when pushing it back in indicating that it was bowing some.

I have a Stihl trimmer and an Echo backpack blower and both have been great. Didn't know if someone had any input on the new model Echo pole saw with the curved handle.

This thread should be under SIG pistols or Ammunition.

I would look at where each is made and make my decision on that.....

I have had the Echo PPT 260 for 4-5 years now and love it. Echo chains are cheap and all Echo parts can be bought at Home Depot and shipped to your local store for free. It's a work horse and I use it about every 2 weeks. Both brands are very good equipment.

I use my fiskars 16 ft. saw twice a year and think it does a very good job
