I really don't want to start a war here, but no, all Huskys are not the same as Poulans. The powerheads on some models may be the same, but not across the whole line. If you are finding rebaged Poulans, you are looking at the bottom of the line consumer saws. THere are Jonsereds and Huskys that have the same engine, like a Chevy and GMC, but that about all that's the same and they were pro grade saws.
And no, the typical life span of a Husky is not 12 to 15 years any more than the typical lifespan of a Stihl or Jonsereds or Echo or Homelite or Mac or Pioneer is 12-15 years. If a bone head owns a brand new top of the line Stihl, he can kill it in a day, same as any other saw. I have Huskys, Pioneers, McCullochs, Sachs Dolmars, Solos, Stihls, Poulans and Poulan Pros that are all at least 25 years old and still going strong.
There are no reed valves in an 026
If you take a Stihl and Husky and maybe a Dolmar and Jonsereds all of the same quality level and compare then and run them side by side you will find they are all fine saws. Ergonomics, balance and feel are going to be the big differences.
