Homelite SXL early model

Really like this old saw. Has been repainted but looks better than the original sky blue color. This old saw is about 50 yrs. old but still runs great and cuts good. Homelite probably put themselves out of business because they made such a good saw. They never wore out so nobody bought new ones. Yes, they are heavy and loud and don't have the safety features, nor the EPA mandated pollution control stuff that late model saws have but that's what makes them so reliable. The new Homelites (made in China probably) give Homelite a bad name. This saw doesn"t have the manual oiler but that can be fixed easily enuff with parts from a parts saw or a kit from Ebay. I would not recommend it for heavy duty cutting but it wasn"t necessarily designed for that to begin with but its great for firewood or occasional work and its a fun saw. Read full review

Homelite XL Automatic

I have had a Homelite XL Automatic for 40+ yrs and it still starts on the third pull when its cold. Wanted a new one to go with the old one. These saws were made to last. The new plastic ones just can't compete. If you take care of it, it will take care of all your wood cutting needs. Read full review

Extremely tough old chainsaws

Super XL’s of any vintage are incredibly reliable machines. As long as they have been somewhat cared for, they will continue to run reliably for far longer than many other current models out there. Parts are widely available should you find yourself needing to make repairs. These are less complicated, reliable machines that you can buy for much less than a new one. I have three that are all in service at any given time. They’re loud and they smoke and they cut incredibly well.Read full review
