I just bought a 21" Sven saw and like the quality feel of it, I have not cut with it yet but do like the small size it folds down to. I have been leaving my bow saw home due to it's size. What are you using for a bow type saw?

I have looked at winches for a few years and always wanted a Warn but could not see parting with that much money, especially with all the new brand cheaper winches. I really was thinking of getting a M8000 but decided to get the XP9500 and was feeling the pain of my puchase decision when my...
