Found this on Amazon for good price. Less than sharpening. Put one on my Stihl with new bar. Cuts really well all day. I actually found it cut better by just letting the weight of the saw put pressure on the wood. I tend to want to held and push down a bit. In checking the 1 star reviews, there were complaints that they ruined bars. Not seeing evidence of wearing to the bar or sprocket. Anyone familiar with this brand?
John D my hoarder neighbor and I discussed that possibility this morning over coffee. He chewed up a sprocket once, using a low price chain.
Your neighbor is not some guy that doesn’t now better I have only run good chains stihl,Oregon,Carlton and now laser The saying always seems to ring true pay a little more now or a lot later
Sourwood Did you end up pulling the trigger on these chains? I was also looking at 3 packs of 20" loops on Amazon that were advertised as "German steel" and for ~ $47 it's almost tempting. EDIT: According to the manufacturer's website the country of origin is China, made from imported European steel, so there's that to consider...
I might have a use for these. I'm brushing an area where I have to wade into Live Oak and Buck Brush with the 346xp. Chains don't last long before I hit something. At least these won't hurt the pocket as much as I grind away the damage!
