FAQs
What is a chainsaw chain?
A chainsaw chain is the cutting component that runs around the guide bar of a chainsaw. Its sharpened cutting teeth slice through wood as the chain is driven around the bar by the engine or motor.
How do I know when I need a chainsaw chain replacement?
A replacement chainsaw chain is usually needed when the existing chain can no longer be sharpened effectively, cuts slowly, stretches excessively, or has damaged or missing teeth. Replacing a worn chain helps maintain safe, efficient cutting performance.
What sizes of chainsaw chains do you sell?
We stock a wide range of sizes, including 25cm (10-inch), 30cm (12-inch), 35cm (14-inch), 40cm (16-inch), 45cm (18-inch) and 50cm (20-inch) chainsaw chains.
Are STIHL chainsaw chains good quality?
Yes. STIHL chainsaw chains are renowned for their excellent cutting performance, long service life and precision engineering. They are trusted by homeowners and professionals alike.
What is the best chainsaw chain?
The best chainsaw chain depends on your chainsaw model and the type of work you're carrying out. Choosing the correct chain pitch, gauge, cutter profile and drive link count is just as important as selecting a high-quality brand.
How do I choose the correct replacement chainsaw chain?
To select the right replacement chain, you'll need to match your guide bar length, chain pitch, gauge and drive link count. Checking your chainsaw manual or the markings on your existing guide bar is usually the easiest way to identify the correct specification.
Can beginners replace a chainsaw chain?
Yes. Replacing a chainsaw chain is usually straightforward, provided you follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. After fitting the new chain, always check that it is correctly tensioned and moves freely around the guide bar before use.
What are the different chainsaw chain types?
The most common chainsaw chain types are full chisel and semi-chisel. Full chisel chains deliver faster cutting in clean timber, while semi-chisel chains retain their edge better in dirty or abrasive conditions.
Do you sell chainsaw chains for professional use?
Yes. We stock professional-grade chainsaw chains from leading manufacturers including STIHL, Husqvarna and ECHO, making them ideal for demanding commercial, arboricultural and forestry applications.
Can I sharpen a chainsaw chain instead of replacing it?
Yes. Most chainsaw chains can be sharpened several times using the correct file or sharpening tool. However, once the cutters become too worn or the chain is damaged, replacing it is the safer and more effective option.
