20 Inch Chainsaw Bar and Chains - Fits Husqvarna 455 Series, 460

In this review the author looks at the 20 in chainsaw bar and chains combo as a practical replacement for common homeowner and light-professional saws. The bottom line: this kit is best for users who need a direct-fit, ready-to-run replacement for models such as Husqvarna 455, 455 Rancher and 460 Rancher or Poulan PP5020AV, because it combines a 20 in tail-mount guide bar and three pre-sharpened chains that reduce downtime and offer consistent cutting performance.

Key Features

• Complete fit: The 20 in guide bar with tail mount K095 and 11-tooth sprocket nose is designed to match the chain and saw models listed, so installation is straightforward.
• Three ready chains: Three 20 in,.050 gauge, 3/8" pitch, 72 drive link chains arrive pre-sharpened so the saw is ready to cut right out of the box.
• Reduced friction: An integrated lubrication design minimizes friction between bar and chain, which smooths operation and reduces wear on both components.
• Safety-focused design: Low-kickback, full-chisel cutters meet ANSI B175.1-2012 kickback performance for improved control and safer cutting, especially for less experienced users.
• Durable finish: Vacuum heat treatment and hard chrome plating on the chain enhance sharpness retention and wear resistance for longer service life.
• Quick setup: The components are simple to fit and require no special tools or pre-sharpening, saving time before the first cut.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at homeowners, small-acreage landowners and landscape pros who already own a compatible saw and want a value replacement bar and multiple chains without the hassle of sharpening first. The inclusion of three chains makes it useful for extended jobs or as a stocked spare set for seasonal work.

Those who need specialty bars, different pitch or gauge, or professional-grade long-cycle replacement bars for heavy daily commercial cutting should look elsewhere; this set targets fit, convenience and cost-effective performance rather than industrial continuous-duty use.
