Re: Echo cordless 58v chainsaw

I am somewhat disappointed that I cannot buy one from my local ECHO dealer.  I bought my other ECHO saw there.  Lack of dealer service sounds like a general lack of support, or like HD licensed the 'ECHO' name, but it is made by someone else (e.g. like 'Rigid' power tools).  They should not need the service that a two-cycle saw does, but you could still drop it and need parts.

Some people have suggested that ECHO dealers may get them eventually.  With the increased popularity of these cordless saws, I hope they do.  Has to be hard enough to compete against stores like HD on price, let alone to not have access to branded products.

Other than that, I would like to try one.  Brushless motor.  58volts, Li-ion.  ECHO brand.  Looks nice in the videos.  Heck, I would like to try all of them!

*The new, brushless version of the Oregon saw is due out this summer, and am anxious to try that as well!  Supposed to have '40% more power and 50% more torque' (not sure what the difference is).
