    Default Scam... beware


    My wife showed me an online ad for a Stihl GTA 26 garden pruner saw. Price is $26. This is a counterfeit tool. Stihl has never sold equipmemt online. Sold through dealers only. The link is NOT the scam company. Just a view of the product.

    Yeah I have seen these advertisements by several places. I think this are china knock-offs. They advertise the Stihl but in the actual product photos it has no name on the sides, etc. I ran into the same issue with an Nintendo gaming system.

    The price alone should be a giveaway. Stihl has never produced ANYTHING that sells for only $26. They get that just for a simple gasket.
