From what i've learn't, it may not be true. The trick to a good chainsaw is a sharp chain,but, I have now burn't out 2 main sprockets on my stihl electric chainsaw, where my freinds at the saw mill use the cheaper electrical saws and they swear by them being almost throw away when they go wrong and cheaper in the long run. Then again not many chaep saws will fit carving bars either.
