Fast and easy start, with a lot of power. This has been my go to saw for basically all my tree trimming and fire wood cutting saw.

I co-founded Disaster Aid USA, a volunteer disaster relief charity, and our teams rely on equipment that can stand up to some of the toughest conditions imaginable. We’ve used Husqvarna 20-inch saws for years. They’re tough, reliable, and have the torque we need to cut through just about anything we encounter during disaster response. The new Husqvarna 545 Mark II takes that performance another step forward. We put it to work for the first time during the devastating Texas floods in the Kerrville area. Our crews used it to cut and remove heavy debris, helping clear areas so search teams could continue their difficult work looking for those still missing from the Camp Mystic tragedy. The saw never let us down. It performed hour after hour in demanding conditions, and we had numerous volunteers and responders asking us about the saws we were using. When you’re working a disaster, equipment failure isn’t just an inconvenience—it can slow down the entire mission. We need tools that start, work hard, and keep working. Based on our experience in Texas, the 545 Mark II delivered.

Fantastic chainsaw, works great for the land clearing we needed.

Long time Stihl guy swapped to husky because of this saw. Tons of power, light weight, great build quality, and superior ergonomics. It really does just feel better in your hands. This is by far my favorite saw and I've ran a lot. I'm just a firewood cutter but I know what I like. I've had more expensive saws but this is the one I keep.
