Come on now person! Go to the stihl website and click on the warranty...nowhere in there does it say 5 years on the coil assembly...Don't be like my sister-in-law (a no-it-all) and make false claims...I sister-in-law is always right, can tell you about lizard breeding, amount of force it takes to get the space shuttle off the ground, and all sorts of dumb sh*t...don't get crap started that cannot be backed up...redmax has a two year on the coil assembly (download owner's manual for 2600 at website)...I belive stihl has 1 year on coil assembly--NOT FIVE! I will tell you one thing...if my coil breaks either before or after the year warranty that will be the last time I buy stihl...I will yell this now--"DID YOU KNOW THAT REDMAX HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE IGNITION COIL!" I like my Stihl products but let them screw me over once and that is it...I always have to find out the hard way...
