I see a lot of Earthquake saws for sale on eBay "Used, as-is" Do you know wnhy that is? It says they were used and returned to the Mfr. Some not running, for parts. Are they junk? Just curious
There a few other forums that have deticated threads for these ! I bought 2 45cc and 1 38cc. I put an aftermarket dual port chinese saw muffler on the 45 and have cut the cut times in half.I see a lot of Earthquake saws for sale on eBay "Used, as-is" Do you know why that is?

Check the saw out.
Here it is after muffler mid cutting same log.
Go to my channel there is at least one other video of the quake. I also have several other saw vids you cad guys may like.
I own a real stihl. I'm all for new companies making new saws for competition. I even appreciate a little imitation of desirable traits. What I'm not thrilled with is a copy of the name and color schemes. That's just a forgery.
+1. Too bad Stihl can't go after them for some kind of product infringement since the saw is obviously a reverse engineered Stihl saw on the outside anyways. They even use a MS381 model number for it. They want to cash in on Stihls sterling repution.I own a real stihl. I'm all for new companies making new saws for competition.

There well know for their augers up here.I see a lot of Earthquake saws for sale on eBay "Used, as-is" Do you know why that is? It says they were used and returned to the Mfr.

I looked at their site and they are a Wisconsin Co. And they do make Earthquake saws but the shipped their jobs to China.... Who'd ever think? I'm sure my new ice auger was made there too then.From an Earthquake saw users manual:

I watched a show about how Chinese companies were infringing on US patents but it's hard to enforce anything with the government over there. Has anyone ever seen the show on how Russia had reverse engineered and stole the plans for the B-29 bomber? They made a bunch of them and then they flew them right over a stunned president that was there for a ceremony.
