Thanks, now I have to buy more chains that I don't need.

Oh my gawd, that`s a tough problem to have brother
Yep. When I get home from work. I'm going to inventory my chains before I look on their website one more last time.Oh my gawd, that`s a tough problem to have brother
My Stihl presets seemed to work fine.
I bought three loops of full-chisel 3/8" x .050" with 81 DL for less than $18 delivered. Two of the loops I shortened to 72 DL for my 20" 361 and with the third loop, I'll splice in some of the extra stuff to make a 91 DL chain for my 660...
Good to know. Thanks
sell me all unwanted chains
That's the problem. I want them, just don't really need them.

I`m like that myself too. I might not need it for awhile, but there always comes that day that you`re glad that you have it.
I will also add, that if a friend needs something, and i can help them if i have extra`s, i gladly help them.

Yes. It's nice to have extra and it's hard for me to pass up a good deal. But as many aches and pains as I have now I just don't know how many more years I will be able to use a saw. I don't even burn wood and only have a couple acres of woods. So with 10 saws and 2 or 3 chains for each saw, I am trying to use common sense and not buy anymore. I have been on that website twice today and so far have talked myself out of buying any. We'll see how long my willpower holds out.

I hear that AA, i`m in my 60`s, and its getting rough on me now. I have a very bad back. Plates and screws in my neck. I`m down to a little over 5 acres of woods now. Down sizing more every year. I don`t have that many saws left, but i sure can`t pass up a good deal on chains. I have no will power, lol. I hope your will power stays strong, lol.
Be safe out there friend

But your heart is in the right place, which is a medical miracle these days!
How do these chains last over time? Can you run them to toothpicks? Have you hit any metal with them yet?
Thanks. I also have a heart condition and other medical conditions. Have 7 prescriptions now. Probably have another after my Dr appointment this month.
I haven't used these chains enough to know about longevity. I'm only at 3 sharpening on one of them. Haven't hit anything with it. It's holding up well so far. I like the Husqvarna xcut and the stihl yellow chain a little better but I would rate this hipa as good as oregon. At these prices you can't beat it.
Well guys, willpower is not one of my strong points. I ordered 2 more chains.
Have any of you tried their files or file guides?
