AndyAndyAndy Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I'm seeing these Stihl chainsaws that go for 2000 Baht. Not only Lazada, but also Google etc. And they are claiming, that it is original. Not a Chinese copy. Do you think it is legit? I have problem believing it. Maybe it is something specially cheap made for SEA market? Dunno thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send the seller a message asking, specifically, if it is a genuine, original Stihl 5200. If they confirm, specifically, that it is and it turns out not to be the case you have all the justification that you need for a refund. Bear in mind that Stihl has it's own manufacturing site in China which may explain the price (and the one you show is, apparently, heavily discounted) for the Asian market.

Because I own a Stihl made by Stihl in a Chinese factory. It is probably the cheapest chainsaw they sell in Thailand. It cost 8000 Baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 You can always ask the manufacturer if that is an authorized resale shop. But I am pretty sure you know the answer already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liddelljohn Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 The Chinese can fake almost any consumer product ,,,the guide is the price if its to good to be true and 1/4 of regular retail price ,, then thats a red flag Go ahead and buy one but dont cry when you are in A&E with a missing hand . leg or knob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Stihl Germany website does not show any "5200" model. None has a four digit number. All model names start with "MS", cheapest is MS 162 at about 200 Euro (~7000 Baht). And that has a smaller blade than this China thing. Found a video where some China <noname>5200 is compared with a genuine Stihl. I bet that the "5200" production has a line where they paint "Stihl" without any license. The 5200 thing works but poor workmanship. Don't expect a life time investment. Edited February 17, 2023 by KhunBENQ 2000 -> 5200 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, you have not seen the item in question so you do not know whether it is fake or not! And the place from where you bought yours has no bearing on the online purchase that the OP seems to be considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the most ridiculous statement I have heard. The tool is available new for ¼ of less than the price of a genuine one. It is supplied from the largest manufacturers of counterfeit products. Its price is less than the cost of the genuine parts, even excluding profit. qed it is fake. It is perfectly possible that it may work, it is even possible it may continue to work. It may be worth the price charged, equally it may be a disaster waiting to happen and slice a 6mm slot through you. However it is not a Stihl chainesaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
