Key Features

• 20 in length: Fits a wide range of homeowner and rancher saws and provides full bar coverage for common 20 in bars.
• .325 in pitch and.050 in gauge: Matches OEM specifications for many 38-62 cc chainsaws so fit and tension are reliable out of the box.
• 78 drive links: Ensures correct engagement with the sprocket for models listed, minimizing skip or slippage when installed correctly.
• Hardened rivets and heat-controlled steel: Increased toughness and flatness help resist stretching and reduce tension changes during heavy cutting.
• Chrome-plated cutters: Grinded and cold-headed for sharpness and longer life, which customers note cuts cleanly and stays sharp for hours of work.
• Protective oil finish: Resists corrosion during storage and transport for better out-of-the-box condition.

Who It's For

This chain is best for homeowners, property owners and landscapers who run 38-62 cc gas chainsaws or compatible electric models and need a replacement that balances sharpness, durability and safety. It is especially relevant for those using Husqvarna Rancher 450 series, Poulan or many Echo and Ryobi saws listed among the compatible models.

If you require professional high-volume logging or use bar lengths other than 20 in, look for a chain specified for heavy commercial use or a different pitch/gauge. Likewise, users who need specialized cutting teeth profiles for milling or ripping should choose a chain engineered for those tasks.
