STIHL, the world's largest selling brand of chain saws, received ‘Best Buy’ ratings on four of its chain saws in the October 2006 issue of Consumers Digest, in the magazine’s review of consumer outdoor power equipment. The leading publication’s 'Best Buy' rating is awarded on average to fewer than 3 percent of competing models in any given category and is reserved for products “that have exceptional value in today's highly competitive marketplace.”

"We are proud that STIHL products have been recognized as leaders in the consumer outdoor power equipment industry from such an influential and reliable consumer product review source," said Peter Burton, vice president of sales and marketing at STIHL Inc.
