8TEN Semi Chisel 20 in.050.325 80DL Chainsaw Chain - Value Pack

Our review of the 8TEN semi chisel 20 in chainsaw chain finds it best for homeowners and part-time users who need a ready fit replacement for a long list of saw models. The single biggest reason to buy is straightforward: this 3 pack delivers compatible, UL certified semi chisel cutters made from durable 68CrNiMo33 steel at a price that undercuts many OEM options while including a safety bumper link for quick, confident installs.

Key Features

• 20 in length: Fits popular 20 in bars used on many Husqvarna, Jonsered and Craftsman saws for common cutting jobs.
• 80 drive links: The 80DL configuration ensures correct engagement with the sprocket and consistent feed when paired to compatible saw models.
• .325 in pitch and.050 in gauge: A common pitch and gauge that balances cutting speed with strength and works with many consumer and pro saws.
• Semi chisel cutter: Semi chisel teeth stay sharper longer in mixed wood and tolerate knocks better than full chisel cutters for yard work.
• Durable materials and safety link: Hardened 68CrNiMo33 chain and GCr15 rivets plus an included safety bumper link make installation and longevity practical for regular use.

Who It's For

This pack is ideal for homeowners, small acreage owners and maintenance pros who run Husqvarna 440/445/450/455/460 series, many Jonsered and Craftsman models, or equivalent saws that accept 20 in.325".050" 80DL chains. Buyers who prefer to have spare chains on hand for frequent cutting or who want a lower-cost replacement without sacrificing basic cutter quality will appreciate this pack.

It is less suited for users who demand OEM warranty-specific parts or those who run highly specialized saws that require full chisel cutters for repeated professional bucking on softwood production lines. Also check model compatibility carefully before purchase, as some brands and individual saws may deviate from listed fit notes.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value: three chains offer twice the spare capacity compared with many single-brand chains at a similar price.
• Solid construction: hardened chain steel and GCr15 rivets provide strength and help the cutters hold an edge.
• Practical cutter choice: semi chisel teeth balance sharpness retention and impact tolerance for mixed wood tasks.

Cons

• Fit can be inconsistent with some saws despite long compatibility lists, so verify model numbers before ordering.
• Durability reports vary from user to user, so longevity may depend on cutting conditions and maintenance habits.
