    Seems decent.
    I don't remember the last time I bought a premade loop.

    That's about the least intrusive "safety" chain you can buy. No where near these:

    The driver link doesn't have a ramp like this:

    Yep, a lot of the Oregon chain is made like the Power Cut. Works great, too.

    Agreed. :handshake:
    I have a few loops of the stuff mixed in with my chain hoard. Absolutely no difference in the way it cuts vs. yellow non-safety. Start plunge cutting, then maybe we can discuss.
