8TEN Full Chisel Chainsaw Chain 18 in.050 3/8 62DL - Value Pack

Our review of the 8TEN Full Chisel Chainsaw Chain finds it best suited to homeowners and occasional users who want a sharp, low-cost replacement for common 18 in saws. The single biggest reason to buy is straightforward: this 3-pack delivers full chisel cutters made from hardened 68CrNiMo33 steel and includes a safety bumper link, so buyers get ready-to-use, OEM-compatible chains for a fraction of brand-name pricing. Fit is broad across many models, though buyers should confirm exact OEM numbers before purchase.

Key Features

• 18 in length: Matches standard mid-size bars so it fits a wide range of household and light professional saws for quick replacement.
• 62 drive links: Provides the correct link count for saws that use 62DL chains, ensuring proper engagement with the sprocket and smooth feed.
• 3/8 in pitch,.050 in gauge: The common pitch and gauge combination balances strength and cutting speed for most pruning and firewood tasks.
• Full chisel cutters: Aggressive square-corner cutters deliver fast, efficient cuts and keep the bar moving through soft and hardwood alike.
• Durable materials: Cutters are made from 68CrNiMo33 steel with GCr15 steel rivets for wear resistance and reliable joint strength.
• OEM compatibility: Labeled compatible with many OEM part numbers so replacement is simple for owners of Husqvarna, Stihl, Echo, Poulan and other popular saws.

Who It's For

This chain is ideal for homeowners, landowners, and small-farm users who need an affordable bulk replacement and expect sharp, fast cutting for occasional to moderate use. It suits anyone who runs an 18 in bar with 3/8 in pitch and.050 in gauge and wants a full chisel profile for aggressive cutting.

It is not the best choice for heavy professional logging where maximum longevity under daily hard use is critical, and buyers with less common or very specific OEM fitments should double-check the listed compatible part numbers to avoid misfit issues reported by some users.

Pros & Cons

Cons
