User reviews

Alexander. Pskov

Partner 340, this is the second chainsaw I have ever owned. Before that, there was an incomprehensible Chinese saw, which had to be constantly repaired and eventually thrown away. I’m very pleased with the Partner, in the two years during which I actively exploited it, I never drank it. It feels like a chainsaw is assembled efficiently and for people. I recommend that all friends and relatives buy exactly Partner 340.
