desertcart.com: KAKEI 16 Inch Chainsaw Chain 3/8" LP Pitch .050" Gauge 56 Drive Links Fits Craftsman, Poulan, Ryobi, Echo, Greenworks and More- S56 (3 Chains) - Semi Chisel : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Good vlaue - Works great on my MS170. Sharp, cuts well. Great value for 3 chains.
Review: Great value and solid performance - I’ve been impressed with this chain so far. It fits properly, installed easily, and cuts clean and smooth. No issues with vibration or tracking. I’m mostly using it for general property maintenance — trimming limbs, cutting up small fallen trees, nothing heavy commercial — and it’s been holding up well. Stays sharp longer than I expected at this price point. For typical homeowner use, it’s a great buy. Would purchase again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How to tighten chainsaw chain properly?**
A: 1. Disengage the chain brake 2. Loosen the bar nuts 3. Lift the tip of the guide bar 4. Tighten the tensioning screw until the chain sits snugly against the bottom rail of the bar without slack and still rotates freely 5. Re-tighten the bar nuts

**Q: How to reduce the risk of kickback?**
A: If you are not experienced with chainsaws, use a low kickback chain (ANSI standard). Also, never saw using the "kickback danger zone" on the guide bar (the top of the bar tip); use the underside of the bar instead.

**Q: What is ANSI?**
A: The safety standard "B175.1" set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which outlines requirements for gasoline-powered chainsaws (chains), including provisions designed to reduce the risk of kickback injuries when cutting wood.

**Q: How often should chainsaws be lubricated? Should I use a special lubricant for chainsaws?**
A: - Fill the reservoir with lubricant every refueling and ensure the lubricant is properly delivered to the chain during operation. Improper lubrication can cause excessive wear, reduce cutting efficiency and increase the risk of chainsaw damage - Yes

**Q: Full Chisel vs Semi-Chisel Chain – What's the difference?**
A: Full chisel: sharper and cuts faster, but tends to dull when it encounters dirt and is prone to kickback. Semi-chisel: cuts slower than full chisel, but stays sharp longer, suitable in dirty environments.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just as nice as Stihl branded chains!
*by N***N on February 13, 2026*

Worked perfect - no difference found from the brand name chains. These sharpen just as easily as brand name ones and are a fraction of the total cost. They install just the same and really no difference at all but the cost savings!
