8TEN Full Chisel Skip Tooth Chainsaw Chain 20 in.058 3/8 72DL

In this review the 8TEN Full Chisel Skip Tooth chainsaw chain is evaluated as a budget-friendly replacement option for owners of compatible Husqvarna, Makita, Poulan and Jonsered saws. The single biggest reason to consider it is value: the chain is built from heat-treated 68CrNiMo33 steel with GCr15 rivets and delivers sharp cutting performance comparable to major brand equivalents at a lower price point. Confirm fitment first, but for users who need a ready spare or a lower-cost swap, this chain is a practical choice.

Key Features

• 20 in length: Matches common bar lengths so it can replace worn chains on many standard saw setups without bar changes.
• 72 drive links: Provides the exact link count required for models that specify 72DL, ensuring correct sprocket engagement when fit is confirmed.
• 3/8 in pitch with.058 in gauge: The standard pitch and gauge combination offers a durable fit and consistent cutting geometry for medium to heavy cutting tasks.
• Full chisel skip tooth design: Designed for faster, aggressive cutting and good chip clearance when sawing larger logs or thick limbs.
• Hardened steel construction: Chain made from 68CrNiMo33 steel with GCr15 rivets for improved wear resistance under regular cutting loads.

Who It's For

This chain is aimed at homeowners, small acreage owners and part-time pros who run compatible Husqvarna, Makita, Poulan or Jonsered saws and want a cost-effective replacement that cuts sharply out of the box. It suits users who alternate between softwood and hardwood and need the faster bite of a full chisel skip tooth for felling or bucking larger wood.

People who require OEM-fit guaranteed performance for every Stihl or other brand model should verify fit carefully and consider OEM chains if tolerances must be exact. Users seeking the quietest, smoothest low-kickback chain for precise pruning should look at finer-profile or low-kickback alternatives.
