Supply and demand, they used to be more popular up here than Stihl with the logging crews, then along came Husky and they sold lots because they were lighter, faster and cheaper, Husky hurt Jonsered to the point that Jonsered had to cheapen up to compete, the only saw to hold the line on quality in my opinion will not be found in a box store and that one is STIHL, I've owned, run and hated using them all, my first was a right hand starter McCoughlah(I know that's spelled wrong but you get the picture) I was 7 years old when my grandfather started it and shoved it into my exited little hands, he then said GET WOOD. I nicknamed my kid that when he was 12.
