Indeed, it is one of the most affordable chainsaw chains in the market. Yet, it also offers unfaltering quality, which will impress you once you get your chance to test it. It features a durable hard chrome outer layer and hardened rivets that prevent premature wear and frequent adjustments of the heat-treated semi-chisel chain. Moreover, it boasts a built-in Lubri-Tec automatic oiling system that spreads the oil to its essential sections.
