Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

There is a compromise here in that the chains aren’t quite as strong as the 0.05” gauge but because they are lighter they do help to improve speed, thereby improving cutting performance. Which brings us on to the chain speed. This is measured at 23 meters per second, which is excellent and can certainly match that of many gas powered models.
