I haven't seen a "tool-less" adjuster that stayed tight on any of the newer saws. It was bad enough when Poulan Pro did it, but seemed Sthil would of been smart enough to stay away from it. But, they really want the homeowner/ part-time cutter market.
Poulan Pro, Husqvarna, Jonsered are all owned by the same company.
The Husky pro-saws are still excellent but over-priced. Right now, I don't think there is a better saw on the market, dollar for dollar, then then the Dolmar and Efco saws. Especially if you find a deal and buy one in Makita "blue" or John Deere "green."
Dolmar/Makita and Efco are both built every bit a well as the pro-Huskys, but can be bought with much better prices and warrantees. Both old companies but never had a big presence in the USA. Dolmar is older then Stihl in Germany. Efco is the #1 pro saw in Italy, and can be found at times with the Deere label and paint on it.
I've got many Stihls and Huskys . . but for now -I'm a steadfast Dolmar and Efco convert for newer stuff. Note I'm also in the "60s" stage of life and like having a saw with a good power-to-weight ratio -but without a plastic crankcase! 64 cc Dolmar/Makita DCS6401 with a 32" bar is the biggest I need for anything.
My smaller newer saws are - the Dolmar/Makita DCS510 at 50 ccs, and a Efco/Deere CS56 with 56 ccs. Metal crankcases, full ball bearings on the crankshaft, compression releases, etc.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
