Down here, chain saws are a sideline, don't have any stores that sell just chain saws, so its very hard to come up with the higher quality chains, etc.
Wish there was a place that made high quality chains. Bet they'd be cheaper than the packaged ones, cut better and last longer.
With the strong timber industry in our area, you'd think there would be a place where you could get commercial quality chains, etc. I've never seen one. Must be a closely guarded secret.
I still believe the Stihl chains are the best you can get at least in North Texas. I have run them all: Oregan, Carleton and Stihl. And the Stihl are by far the best lasting in my opinion. Another way to get good chain is to demand "Full Chisel, Non-Safety Chain" Your dealer may try and deny it if your saw is under 4.0 cubic inch but I have never had any trouble getting it but have heard stories of problems. I guess if they figure you know what it is then you will not accept the garden variety homeowner safety chain.
