Out of the box it is the best chain saw I've run in the past twenty years. I run Huskavana saws for 30 years but the new ones have junk carburetors and don't last like the older saws. The Dolmar has plenty of power, not a lot of weight and very easy to start.

Who bought Dolmar chainsaws?
Signs of the Dolmar-Makita Transition
If you see either a warm red Dolmar saw or a teal-colored gas Makita saw, you'll know that you're looking at a legacy saw that was made before Makita acquired Dolmar. Today, Makita makes its 2-cycle gas chainsaws in the warm red color that Dolmar's fans know and love so well.
