GB brand bar

What is everyone's opinion on a GB pro top bar

 

[StihlKiwi]

I have a GB Ti bar and rate it higher that it's Oregon equivalent (similar price). Although there are reports of the new GB's being manufactured in China and of crappy steel, it may pay to check out where it was made

GB is yet another good old name (formerly made in Australia, good quality products) that is no longer what it used to be -- now made in China...

The old Aussie orange ones were great. The white ProTop ones were so-so, about on a par with Oregon PowerMatch. What happened post-China, I cannot say for sure, but I don't have to know for sure because simply knowing they're Chinese is information enough.

The Pro-Top and the "Titanium" (CN40) used to be good quality when made in Austalia, but the cheaper "Powertech" had a rather challenged reputation even then.

If it's made in Australia-grab it!!!!

I have an australian GB pro top and love it. It's used 2 chains and the rails are finally starting to show a little wear. In terms of wear, it easily equals my Tsumura(Total Superbar) and is far superior to my supposedly profesional Oregon powermatch plus.

Why on the paint job on the bar does it say made in Australia if they are in fact made in china

I run an Aussie made GB on my 372 and it has proved to be as durable as any bar I've used. I believe it is a pro top, but I'm not completely sure as the paint has been gone for some time

I have a 20" GB Frostbite bar on my Stihl 460. It's holding up real well but I have no clue where it was made. I just assumed Australia.

the new ones don't say "made in Australia" they just say "Australia" . I have an old Aussie made one and had 2 new Chinese made ones that I promptly got rid of.
