    I have four lengths in 3/8 one in .325 and two in 3/8lp,I usually have two of each in use and try to keep a few in reserve, my dealer is about 40 minutes away and charges a dollar an inch on chain so i keep extra around ,in this area they are much more expensive ,i save chains that should be trash in case i need to cut in a bad spot ( where damage will be likely ) IMG_4671.JPG IMG_4670.JPG

    My listing is pretty tough. I have the OEM .325 semi-chisel chain on my Stihl 026 and I have a half dozen 3/8 .050 72dl chains for my Husky 555.

    8 are new in the box
    I need to avoid garage sales, especially the moving out of state ones.
    Always find stuff is use at a good price & can't resist a great deal :)

    Well now you know the rule. Pics or it did not happen.
    I have my bars all hanging up but the chains I keep in plastic bags with a piece of paper telling
    me what they are. The ones that need sharpened I hang up until I get to them and then put them in a bag like the rest of them.

    2 for each bar. Except for the stihl 18" .325 which my father-in-law runs as well. So I keep a few extra to swap with him when his are dull.

    At just $10 a piece thats $4000 worth of chains!!! And realistically more like $6000-9000 worth at least

    I meant all of those sizes. I probably have 40-50 and the longest are 156dl. Im,sure there's well over $1k in chain and I don't want to think about bar cost.
