20 Inch Chainsaw Chain 3/8ft Pitch.058ft Gauge 72 Drive Links

In this review the 20 in chainsaw chain with 3/8' pitch and.058' gauge is evaluated for homeowners and occasional pros who need a direct replacement for compatible Husqvarna bars. The bottom line: it is a solid, value-oriented replacement chain that delivers sharp cutting and good durability for trimming, pruning and light milling tasks. The reviewer found the chain easy to fit, noticeably sharp out of the package, and a sensible alternative to paying for repeated professional sharpening.

Key Features

• Fit and compatibility: Designed to match 20 in Husqvarna bar models, this chain is sized for direct replacement on a wide range of saws so fitting is straightforward for most users.
• Construction quality: Made from German steel with controlled heating and a precision punching system for improved toughness and flatness under load.
• Hardened rivets: All rivets are hardened and quenched to resist wear and reduce undesirable chain tension changes during use.
• Cutter treatment: Cutters are chrome-plated using a Japanese process and finished on rotary machines to give a sharper edge and longer cutting life from the start.
• Low-kickback design: The chain meets ANSI B175.1-2012 kickback performance requirements, offering a safer option for backyard and property work.
• Extras included: Each purchase includes a Swiss double-cut premium line sharpener file and protective oil to help maintain teeth and resist corrosion.

Who It's For

This chain is best for homeowners, landscapers doing routine trimming, and small-property owners who need a reliable, ready-to-install replacement that holds an edge well. The included sharpener and protective oil make it convenient for users who prefer to maintain their own equipment.

It is less appropriate for heavy professional logging crews who demand maximum longevity under continuous high-load cutting; some customers reported lighter-duty longevity compared with high-end specialty chains. Also confirm chain length against your bar to avoid ordering a size that is too short.
