My dad always bought Craftsman ones (he also replaced them a lot) I was thinking Husquvarna or Poulan.

Stihl. Not that we use ours very often. But hubby has a thing about spending lots of money on tools.

My Stihl Farm Boss is a cuttin' sumbeach. Huskies are good also. I'd stick with one of those two brands. Craftsman chainsaws suck. Homeylites are servicable for the average homeowner but if you got 40 acres I'd buy a good one.

Ask the owner to show you how many fingers s/he has.

1. Reliability
2. Durability
3. Correct sizing of bar and chain compared to displacement of engine
