8TEN Full Chisel Chainsaw Chain 18 in.058.325 72DL - Value Pack

In this review the 8TEN Full Chisel chainsaw chain is assessed as a value-focused replacement for owners of common consumer and pro consumer saws. It is aimed at users who need an exact-spec, full chisel.325 pitch chain with a.058 gauge and 72 drive links for 18 in bars, and the single biggest reason to buy is cost-effective replacement that matches OEM fitment for many Husqvarna, Jonsered, Stihl-compatible and other models while including a safety bumper link.

Key Features

• 18 in length with 72 drive links: Matches the bar size and link count needed for many 18 in consumer and rancher class saws so installation is straightforward when the specs align.
• .325 pitch and.058 gauge: Provides the same chain spacing and thickness as many OEM chains, helping maintain proper tangential fit and reliable engagement with the sprocket and bar.
• Full chisel cutters: Aggressive square-corner cutters give fast, clean cuts and maintain sharpness for a typical full chisel cutting pattern favored for quick crosscutting.
• Durable alloy steel construction: Cutters are made from 68CrNiMo33 steel with GCr15 steel rivets for strength and wear resistance under normal homeowner and light professional use.
• UL certified and safety bumper link included: The chain meets safety standards and ships with a bumper link to assist safe installation and handling.

Who It's For

This chain is best for homeowners, landscapers, and property managers running 18 in bars on compatible saws who want a low-cost replacement that follows OEM specifications. It is particularly useful for people who buy in multiples or need a spare chain ready for hardwood and general-purpose cutting where a full chisel profile offers fast performance.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with nonstandard bars or saws that require a different pitch, gauge or link count, and operators who prefer rounded-corner (semi-chisel) cutters for dirty work or extended durability in abrasive conditions, since full chisel cutters can dull faster when encountering dirt or hit knots frequently.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value for money compared with OEM chains, offering multiple chains in one purchase for routine replacements.
• Sharp full chisel cutters deliver fast cut quality and clean crosscuts on wood, including hardwoods when properly maintained.
• Constructed from alloy steels with UL certification and includes a safety bumper link for safer handling and fitment.

Cons

• Fit can vary between models despite listing many compatibles; some users report incompatibility with certain Stihl saws, so verify pitch, gauge and drive link count before purchase.
• Full chisel cutters may require more frequent sharpening than semi-chisel alternatives when used in dirty or knot-heavy conditions.
