“The ability to run a longer bar for less weight allows for greater productivity with less fatigue,” said Stacie Zerfoss, product manager, Husqvarna. “Fatigue is the leading cause of chain saw injuries.”
The reduced weight of the bar allows chain saw operators to run a 20-inch Techlite for the same weight as a 16-inch solid pro bar, both weighing 2 pounds.
