I do most cutting in my own yard, everything is at hand if needed - and in a pinch I can always opt to take a spare new chain out of its box.
If I go cut elsewhere I will take one spare chain along, even if that means taking a NIB chain along. I always carry a good sharp file along so I can touch up or sharpen my chain if needed.
I tried rotating two chains on my PS-6400 when I first bought her - took me like 5 years to wear them down!
Well, since then I only use ONE good chain and whatever "worn but not trashed" chain(s) I have.
I flip the sprocket on a regular basis and replace it waaaay before it has ran its coarse whenever I take a new chain into usage.
I only have 4 saws, and they are paired up from a chain and bar point of view.
The small SD105 & 108 both use 3/8"LP/.050"/52DL , and my PS-6400 & PS-7900 use 3/8"/.058"/72DL (115DL).
That been said, I have very little to no chaos or disorder while storing my few chains and bars!
I have it very simple, the chains that are not being used are 95% NIB chains and they are stacked one atop another.
I would like to actually see the "shops" of some of You guys - might be an interesting experience!
