    Default Telstra Take Over

    Telstra should take over Electrolux

    Telstra is very qualified - they suck big time.

    Used the wrong imoticon there, I do actually like mine From what I have read, many Jonsered models are identical to the Husky just with the different handle (Husky is angled). Same as everything I guess, some bad models and some lemon saws.

    You must have got one made on a Monday. I've had two of them and think they are a great saw. My brother in law has had four of them and still has two of them and wouldn't have anything else.

    The plastic housings on the jonsrered seem to have the holes too big for the self tappers that hold it together so they rattle out.

    Including the screws that holds the dog onto the main body.

    It leaks chain oil everywhere, took it back when it was a week old and was told nothing they could do about it.

    I've gor mates with biggies and they swear by them but mine is a real heap of crud. Now the oil pump has packed up. Its about 2 years old and doesn't get a lot of use.

    Reckon I'd have been much better off with a chinese clone of an ozito.

    Well I will admit mine is about 20 years old a 625 Model. There are no self tappers anywhere on mine. Every thing is held on with set screws with the female threads moulded into the plastic body. That includes the top cover, the air cleaner and the dogs are held on with 6mm set screws.

    The oil pump occasionally weeps oil out if I leave it full of chain oil but where I leave it it doesn't really matter.

    Maybe their quality has deteriorated over the years. Maybe they are like Bosch who have two different grades of tools.

    I've just bought a GMC electric chainsaw. I'll be interested in seeing how long it lasts.
