How to tell if a Stihl is a knock-off

[Realstone]

Stihl wouldnt stay in business if the parts they get made in china was sub par. What makes an engineering company good is the testing and quality control system they have to ensure the product is a good one. Like was said the metal is spec'd and if the testing shows an issue you can bet Stihl will get it fixed.

Its funny people who rag on the its made in china as they buy stuff from china and they dont know they do. Most time the answer is in their shoes.
