Yeah everyone doesn’t carry stihl either.

Where I am it’s Ace hardware and some mower shops.

I like my wood boss but for some reason that particular model is tricky to start and it floods if you look at it wrong. Lol!

I used Stihl saws on a Forest Service hotshot crew about 40 years ago. We had 038 Supers with a 28” bar. Great cutters, but almost impossible to restart in hot temperatures (which is most of the time on the fire line). We’d typically refuel with them running, not the best idea.

These days all I have is a Homelite and a Craftsman, both 18”. I haven’t used either one since we moved two years ago. Wonder if they’d start.
