Review: Husqvarna 142 Chainsaw – 16 Inch Bar
The Husqvarna 142 chainsaw is one of the best choices for home owner type work in the suburban yard or small ranch or farm setting. It is not a professional level saw, and is intended for reliable and safe use by the ordinary consumer.
There are similar chainsaws to be had for less money. But, most of them are not up to the quality and ruggedness of the Husky 142. It's actually built to the same general standards as Husqvarna's professional saws.
Features:
- Safety - Safer to use than cheaper saws with a double acting chain brake, right hand guard and chain catcher.
- Ease of Use - For the home owner it's easy to operate and the ergonomics are right with a slim body, high center of gravity and flat underside. Also has an angled front handle for a better grip and more natural position from which to work.
- Powered Right (2.2 horsepower) - Not underpowered like the budget or homeowner specials for other brands you'll see regularly at retail outlets.
- Easy Starting - Very easy to start with it's spring-assisted starter mechanism.
- Light Weight - Light weight moving parts increase acceleration.
- Low Vibration
- Air Injection - Enables the saw to run stronger and longer between filter cleanings, with reduced wear and smoother operation.
- Service and Parts - Easier to obtain than with Stihl.
Limitations: Not a professional saw. Not intended for heavier timber operations.
Bottom Line: This chainsaw is a wise choice for the home handyman (or lady) who demands something a cut above the cheaper underpowered, less rugged saws so often urged upon the unsuspecting consumer. In short, the Husqvarna 142 has more than enough power to handle the occasional jobs any homeowner would have in mind, and the ruggedness and durability to make it a keeper for years to come.
