Who sells the sugihara mail order?
I've seen a few of the Sugihara tips fail, and they normally come with an extra tip, at least they use to. I weighed a few different bars on a digital scale. Sugi 28" (Image hidden from quote, click to view.) Techlite 28" (Image hidden from quote, click to view.) Oregon 24" (Image hidden from quote, click to view.)

I wont be using mine too much. Maybe for the occasional BIG tree .Im glad I got my bar at the old pricing. Im assuming the "new" pricing would put my 28" Sugi at the same price as a 28" Techlite. I would be upset if i paid the same price as a Techlite just to find out the Sugi is heavier than the Techlite. At least, with the Sugi, it came with bar spacers and it will fit all my saws.
Andyshine, thanks very much for weighing the different bars. That is quite a difference on the Husky, I'm impressed. I wonder what the 28" Stihl Light bar weighs? May have to have a silver bar on my 461 at this rate...Lol.

I don't believe the Techlite is laminate in the same manner as a normal small guide bar, they feel nice and solid.
As I understand it, the TechLite is a laminate (centre laminate is alu), but the laminates are bonded together much better than in a traditional laminate.One lightweight option that hasn't been mentioned here yet is the Tsumura Light & Tough. The principle with that one is pretty much the same as with the Sugihara.
