20 Inch Chainsaw Chain.325 Pitch.050 Gauge 78 Drive Links - Low

In this review the 20 inch chainsaw chain pack is judged primarily for homeowners and occasional sawyers who need an affordable replacement that cuts cleanly and holds an edge. The three-pack of.325' pitch,.050' gauge, 78 drive link chains is a practical option when a reliable, low-kickback replacement is required for a range of 20' bar models. The single biggest reason to buy is value: buyers get three full-chisel chains that meet ANSI low-kickback testing and arrive sharp, making them ready for pruning, trimming and light bucking without an expensive sharpening service.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits a wide set of 20' bar models and popular manufacturers, making it easy to replace worn chains on many saws without hunting for a specific part number.
• Low-kickback design: The chain meets ANSI B175.1-2012 kickback performance when tested, which reduces the chance of dangerous kickback on common cutting tasks.
• Durable cutters: Japanese chrome plating and rotary grinding produce sharper cutters that resist wear and maintain cutting performance longer between sharpenings.
• Hardened rivets and steel: Rivets are hardened and quenched and base steel is heat controlled for improved toughness and reduced chain tension variation over time.
• Complete kit: The three-pack includes a Swiss double-cut file and protective oil, so the chains are ready to tune and store on delivery.

Who It's For

This chain set is best for homeowners, landscapers and part-time users who run 20' bar chainsaws for pruning, trimming and firewood cutting and who value lower replacement cost and ready-to-use sharpness. It is also a good match for those who prefer full-chisel cutters for faster, cleaner cuts on green and dry wood.

Those who should look elsewhere include heavy commercial loggers or users who demand extremely long wear life under daily professional use, since some buyers reported the chain was less heavy duty for sustained industrial cycles. Also confirm chain length and pitch against your saw before buying, as a few customers found fitment issues when exact specs did not match.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value: three chains and a file offer lower cost per chain compared with professional sharpening.
• Sharp out of the box: chrome-plated cutters and rotary grinding mean the chain cuts cleanly from first use.
• Safety-minded: low-kickback design meets ANSI performance guidelines when tested.
• Durability features: heat-controlled German steel and hardened rivets resist wear and stabilize tension.

Cons

• Not the heaviest duty option: some users reported shorter life under intensive commercial use.
• Fitment caution: several buyers noted chains were too short for certain saws, so double-check drive links and pitch before purchase.
