Excellent quality
Works well and fit perfectly on my 12” dewalt electric chainsaw. If it’s your first time changing a chainsaw chain… as it was for me… be sure to put the chain on the right direction. I installed it backwards at first and thought well this chain sucks… nope it was just me lacking the correct knowledge. Chain cuts like a hot knife through butter.

They last for a while between sharpening.
These are very good replacement chains, and I’ve had no issues with them. They’ve lasted a good while now and allows me to cut down a lot of trees without having to stop and sharpen them as often. I have 2 hooks in my shed, one for sharpened chains and one for dull chains. I usually sharpen the dull ones when I get to 3 of them.

Great price
Fits my Dewalt cordless saw perfectly. Much less expensive than the Dewalt one. Its also cheaper than the same brand at my local Lowes. At this price I just replace my chainsaw blade when it gets dull instead of sharpening it like by dad did when I was young. Stays sharp and cuts well.

Great but the price was a bit higher then the rest
I bought this and used it on two stumps and resharpened it 4 times. I liked it but the price should be 3-5 lower. I would rather buy lower priced ones and throw them away.

Must have for DeWALT 20v 12" Chainsaw!
Putting this new AdvanceCut R45 Chain on the DeWALT chainsaw bar made a night and day difference in performance. While the chain that came with the DeWALT 20v Chainsaw was probably an Oregon chain, it didn't seem to last well at all. I will sharpen it and try it as a backup. This chain fits most electric 12" chainsaws... Pay attention to the specs. 3/8 Low Profile, .043" and 45 links. Look your saw up on Oregon's website if you're unsure as to which chain you need for your electric saw - invaluable resource! The AdvanceCut line of chains have a lot of nice features, outside of just being a new sharp chain. For instance, superior oiling for longer chain & bar life and filing angle guides on the top plates of the cutters. Additionally, I didn't notice that this chain stretched at all. I cleaned the saw, installed the chain and tensioned it per Oregon's specifications and cleared brush for the next 3-4 hours. The tension was maintained perfectly as best I could tell. To be clear, the DeWALT 20v 12" chainsaw is NOT a fast cutter, even under perfect conditions. It's not designed to be. Don't buy this chain thinking that it will give you gas-like performance... The chain speed is painfully low, but the torque is there, so with a sharp, good quality chain with good geometry, such as this, it is a very capable cutter. I'm a landscaper and this saw has earned me a lot of money and It will continue to do so with this new chain.

Bought to replace OEM chain on my 12 inch Dewalt 20V chainsaw. 40% better quality/cutting which increases batter life. Worth the purchase.

Looks the goods. I haven't actually put it on the chainsaw yet, but the price here was too good to go past. Intend exchanging chains on saw as current one gets blunt and I can then sharpen it at leisure while the backup chain is on.

Way better than original chain on any electric chain saw. Might even be a bit to agressive for small saws with small batteries. It’s the best I love it.

Great product. I have used Oregon for years and never have a problem.

Fit perfect and works as expected. I would order again if I have to buy i doing the same chain at Butch's Small Engine for the same price and over-the-counter delivery :-) I didn't find any chains that said it fit the Dewalt saw so I had to find all the specs first.
