The latest additions to ECHO’s chain saw line-up are the CS-370F and CS-400F. Both of these saws are based on the popular CS-370 and CS-400 but feature the new FasTension™ Tool-less Chain Tensioning System.

If your planning on buying a chain saw and you want the Tool-less Chain Tensioning better buy Stihl, they had the feather for at least three years or more so theirs is proven. Just another case of Echo playing catch up.

Dont buy the tool less from either brand i Have The 180c from Stihl it messed up this year (3 years old) but the times before it messed up it worked ok maybe stihl has improved it since i bought it when it first come out :confused3: but Stihl stuff is normally top notch :thumbsup::thumbsup:

My experience with the Stihl "tool less" chain tension is the chain never stays tight.

That may or may not be the case but I can tell the chain on my Stihl MS 180 needs the tension adjusted after about every other use. Having to adjust tension on a chain saw blade, any chainsaw is a common thing. A tool-less may just be easier to to do and I agree with ILENGINE I cannot support a company that chooses to violate my constitutional rights.

I've had mine for better than three years and used it for tree trimming, clearing property of fallen trees and such and never had a problem. The thing is the MS 180 is a occasional use saw, if I were to use it more than I do for the occasional tree trim I'd go to a bigger model in the homeowner series, like the MS 251

Stihl makes a very good saw I actually own a little Poulan saw for around the house stuff, and a 10ft reach electric Poulan pole saw. I have worked on quite a few Stihl saws, and when you see what they are made of you know they are a good saw. I really like the locking fuel, and bar oil caps.

I really like the locking fuel, and bar oil caps as long as they work, but they were really bad before the recall. I still have problems with the things once in a while but I always carry at least two spares in the tool box at all times.
