Husqvarna is coming out with two new chainsaws, the 555 and 562 XP. On the outside, both saws have slimmed down designs for improved handling. On the inside, key moving parts have been reduced in weight to reduce the gyration of the saws.
The 562 XP also features Revboost, which allows brief chain speed acceleration over short periods to increase cutting efficiency during de-limbing applications. This boost in speed increases the max RPM for about 2 seconds.
