Summary: Saw does not keep running. 2006-12-21
Comment: I have had my 359 about a year and have used it little. It is now back at my dealers for the third time because it just will not keep running. The first time he found a hole in the fuel line. It dies both while idling and while cutting and then is hard to start. I am about ready to declare it a lemon and try to get a refund.

Summary: Works Sometimes 2006-06-04
Comment: I've had this saw for about two years (bought it to get rid of hurricane debris) and it's been broken most of that time. Crooked cuts, jumped chains, etc.
The engine seems fine and it's always started easily, but the chain bar and drive mechanism are problematic. I decided to replace the bar, chain, and sprocket all together, to try to get it back into service. I rounded up the new parts and opened up the saw to discover that special tools are required to change the drive sprocket. Why doesn't Husqvarna include these necessary tools with the saw?
Tomorrow is Sunday and the Husqvarna dealer is closed, and even if he weren't he'd probably have to order the tools and it would take a week. I'm going to try to make a 3-point spanner to remove the clutch, and I think if I stuff a rubber plug or a dowel into the spark plug hole I can use that as a makeshift piston stop. If I can't get the clutch off I'll dust off my old McCulloch and use it. The Mac cost about 1/5 what the Husqvarna did, but it's always worked even if it isn't as pretty and it weighs more. Too bad they quit making them.

Comment: Great saw, but buy from your local Husky dealer. If you have any problems you will be very happy you did.

Summary: Tough saw. 2005-08-22
Comment: The Husqvarna 359 was first chainsaw I learned to operate. While working for an outdoor and wilderness program, I used this saw exclusively (we had several of them).
The layout and ergonomics are good. Picking the saw up, it is well balanced and comfortable. I like the suspension on both the control handle and wrap around handle. The wrap around handle allows for many cutting angles and positions.
The 359 starts reliably. The decompression valve helps with this. Under the extremely heavy use of the outdoor program, these saws were sometimes running all day for days on end and I rarely had any mechanical problems. Overheating was never an issue. Even though the engine sometimes was incredibly hot, it ran smoothly and continuously.
Power is ample for forestry and professional applications. After using a similar Stihl model (440), I discovered how I like the positive response of the Husky's clutch. The single cylinder engine has loads of torque. Even in the middle of some very large trees, this saw would not quit under load.
Unless this is simply more saw than you need for your application, I recommend it. For tree work professionals looking for a good felling and limbing saw, this fits the bill.

Summary: Powerful saw 2003-11-12
Comment: I already owned a 55 Rancher and the Husqvarna arborist chain saws, when I purchased this saw. It is a very powerful saw. The de-compression feature does make starting easier. It is a high quality saw with significant improvements over earlier models. The chain/bar tension control is much easier to adjust on my 18" 55. The 359 has a new metal chain guard (for safety when a chain jumps off of the bar). The metal guard has one drawback. I had a chain jump and it severly chaffed the chain (metal on metal) resulting in a damaged and therefore lost chain. The older design (with plastic) was less damaging to chains (but probably not as safe). Still like all Husqvarna saws, a reliable and powerful tool.
