I've purchased high powered blowers from other retailers and received refurbished or returned items. Not from Ripsaw. They even called ahead of shipping to confirm the address. Reputable company, and a bonus that they're located in western PA. I got to keep my business in my home state.
Looks great on saw fit and finish is flawless but be prepared this thing is LOUD. I have pipes on some of my other saws but this signature series makes them sound like they have stock mufflers back on.
Grips so much better then old models both work perfectly just nice to get a grip lol
Have a ported 500 with a 28” and this stock, the weight and everything with this new husky makes it my go to on cranes. Run a sharp square cut chain on it and it eats.
