The Sears retail chain is Husqvarna's largest customer. Sears is the
world's largest retailer of outdoor consumer products, under the
Craftsman brand, and has a market share of approximately 30% in the US.

So I answered my own question; Craftsman chainsaws are Huskies.
I like this quote from this page:
<http://corporate.husqvarna.com/index.php?p=about&s=organization&t=consumer&afw_lang=en>
The brands are:
Quote:
* Husqvarna and Jonsered for high-performance wheeled and portable
products, globally
* Flymo for electrically-powered high-performance products, and
Partner and McCulloch for lower-end petrol-powered products, in Europe
* Poulan, Poulan Pro and Weed Eater for petrol-powered low-end
portable and wheeled products in the US.
End Quote.
So Poulan really is the bottom of the barrel. :)
