How is he hanging ? (the saw chain)

How is he hanging ?

I have created this to organize the saw chains.


How do you guys store the saw chains ?

Pegs on pegboard.

I used to do nails tapped into the studs in the garage for long loops and off the side of the workbench for the shorter ones. Then I got lazy, and now there are just chains everywhere, yet I only use one chain/saw until it is worn out, so I should probably just gather up the old loops and give them away. Note to self.

I put them back in the box they came in, and set them on a shelf. Ready to go.

Chains hanging everywhere. News Years resolution is going to be to organize my whole basement.

not a bad idea...how about a cheap tape ruler down the side to let you know lengths ?

I have about 275 in boxes, probably 100 hanging and a bunch in tubs.

it's alot harder to organize chains when you have more then 5 LOL. especially if they are all different DL counts. i don't have much room but i hang the chains i don't use going from longest to shortest on one spike. then i hang chains with the bars they go with. would be real easy if i had 20 spikes in the wall but i don't so i gotta try hang 30 or so bars and 90 or so chains on 4 spikes. a few always end up under the bench.

I try to keep bars and chains together, I need to tag them in order to remember what they are for.

On the bars and on the saws. Only have one hanger, It is the 60" bar so I know which chain belongs to it. Also a few in the boxes.

I found out that the hook for hanging clothes in my pickup works great for hanging extra chains. I don't like them laying in the toolbox or seat because they get looped. Hanging keeps them clean and out of the way. The hook in my Chevy is right behind the passenger seat.

It was a "You might be a sawyer if" moment....

These 6 boxes are full of chain.



I also have more hanging.

If all them chains are sharp you should never have to pick up a file again. [emoji4]

My Grandfather used to say "how are they hanging in Polish, no way I could spell it, and he said it was from WW2 hanging Nazis. I figured out what it meant when I got older.

You guys are nuts , so many bars & chains! ​

I have it easy :
- the bar & chain "in use" is always mounted on my saw(s)
- my spare chains are in their original boxes on a shelf and are not used until the one in use is worn out well past the witness mark
- my spare bars hang on a nail on the wall and will not be used till I decide to replace the working bars due to wear
