Side by Side Comparison of: Oregon vs Husqvarna vs Anytime Tools

Cuts wood well. Easy to sharpen.

I bought this as a backup chain for my chain saw. I have always had good results with Oregon chains.

As advertised. Worked great.

I have never had a problem with Oregon chains that I have used and I have worn out many.

One of the best chains. i like this brand.

I bought a replacement Oregon bar for my Sears saw and it uses this chain! During the summer I've cut up a number of 40+ year old pine trees broken during a tornado.(they were green when broken and the pine tar and pitch gummed up everything but the chain) as well as Oak trees as large as 18" around. The chain outperformed the chains on the husky and stihl saw friends were using hands down. It's a great chain that lasts a long time and stays sharp for a surprising length of time.

After using the previous chain until it would no longer hold the edge I got this chain. Cuts through oak like a knife through butter. Definitely worth it.

Exactly as advertised. Great product. Fits my 350 Rancher.The above review needed at least twenty words, so I hope this fills it in.

This is an OEM standard chain and a good choice for most users needing this size. I've purchased a number of these for my 359. They cut well, have low kick-back. You can expect good performance and long life if kept well-oiled, out of the dirt and don't pinch it felling a tree or big branches.

Excellent product !! Love that we were able to order this on Amazon from the seller and have it delivered right to our door without having to battle traffic and make the 1 1/2 hour round trip just to make it there to purchase, let alone the time to locate it in the store or even checkout. The chain fit our 455 Rancher perfectly. Thanks for a great product !! Definitely will be a return buyer.

I've been using the Home Depot Oregon chains, this is much better. The Cut is MUCH sharper, cleaner and faster.No more HD for me.

Great chain, only takes a second to ruin it...scrape a rock and see.455 Rancher - 4 years of abuse and about 8 chains, 2 bars, 1 spark plug...still trying to break it so my wife will let me by something more powerful. No luck yet, thanks Husky.

works good for the price

Great chain

I use this for my Husky 460 Rancher. It is a good chain. It is a chain for the novice or intermediate. If you are looking for a more aggressive chain go with the Husqvarna 501842672 20" H47-72. A more more aggressive will cut faster but have more kick back potential so know what you are doing.

Works great on my stihl 039.

Longer than my original chain, had to crank the bar way out almost to max extension to fit, but otherwise worked fine.

Received it promptly and it works like a champ.

Exactly what it says on the tin.

Great blade for my saw. I like it

Ok so far

Good chain. Keep extras on hand if you do a lot of cutting.

I've got a pair of Husqvarna 455 Ranchers. They're good saws. This chain cuts well but there is nothing special about it. I can get other chains for this that cut much faster, but in return are not quite as safe due to the design. Just sharpen it with every tank of gas and so long as you keep it away from dirt and rocks it'll serve you well.

I've owned a few of these chains and have had pretty consistent results. I've had to replace a couple, once due to me hitting a stone on the ground when cutting felled wood and another time when the chain jumped off the bar and struck the metal safety tab on the bottom of the power head. I may have replaced one more due to wear - The one that was replaced due to wear sort of dulled rather quickly when cutting wet/green wood. I've noticed that dry/seasoned wood tends to be less "costly" on the chain. Easy to sharpen but I've noticed that the new chains definitely cut better than chains that have been sharpened (either due to my inability to correctly sharpen or maybe that's just the way it is.)

Fit is okay although this chain is wider than the one being replaced, and this caused mild rubbing.As to cutting ability, this chain is only fair. It is better than the completely dull chain but does not cut as quickly as that one did when it was new.

I imagine it would be fine...It does not fit a Husqvarna 450 which is what I have. Could be clearer as to what it fits.

I use Oregon chains on my Husky 455 Rancher with great success. This particular chain, the Vanguard is similar to the stock Husky chain and ones you'll find in hardware stores. These have the anti-kick back design which I find to be useless to anyone except for the occasional user or someone who probably shouldn't be using a chainsaw in the first place. I can maybe cut 1/8th of a cord with these before they wear enough that the depth gauge reduces cutting, even though it's still sharp. If you know what you're doing, you can grind down the depth gauge to allow it to cut longer, but it will kick back harder since you're altering the design and eliminating the extra material. The plus side is on a fresh resharpen I can get about 3 times the cutting time with an altered and reduced depth. If you're looking for a good chain and know how to use a chainsaw without needing an emergency room visit, I'd recommend looking into the SuperGuard and Chisel blades from Oregon. I can get a cord & more easily with those and they resharpen nicely, cut fast and are usually cheaper.

used on a Poulan Pro, it performed well but didn't take long for the chain to stretch past the adjustment capabilities of the Poulan, I'll have to see about removing some links.

I am sure this is a good chain as I have used several in the past, however this will not fit a Poulan as advertised, I had to swap it out at a local store who was gracious enough to take it for a trade even though it was purchased here. Poulan uses an H-78 chain.

Decent chain. Dulls very quickly compared to my old chain. It is a safety chain which I wish was clearly marked on packaging. Will not be buying this again.

I wish I'd realized when I bought it that this was the "safety chain". Works great as a spare, which is what I wanted it for anyway, but not what I thought it was, maybe I just didn't read the description close enough. Conceptually I understand how it can be safer, but I've never had a problem with kick back using my saw, and it doesn't cut as fast.

New chains always cut nicely but I am not really impressed by the quality. It seemed to wear and stretch more easily then the original chain. I will try another brand next time and compare. This chain may be just as good, I really don't know yet.

Son installed chain on the chain saw, however, will not stay on the bar of the saw. He will look at again this week.

Would not fit the bar on my saw despite ordering the correct item.

This is a safety chain which is too slow. The rakers are extremely large which means you would need to take a grinder to them to make this more aggressive. So unless you're an inexperienced user, find yourself an aggressive chain.

It was to fit our Polan saw. Used one time and it got so streached out we could not use it again

Got this for my boyfriend since he had heard good things about this chain and it was cheaper than the other one he gets. He has said nothing but bad about it. He uses his saw for a few hours a day and said he can not keep this chain sharp. He is going back to his old chain type that he uses. He would not recommend it to anyone. Hope this helps!

This 20" saw chain had two more links than the factory installed chain. What's up with that? Now, when I change chains, I have to go through some manipulations that are a nuisance.

Please be careful when ordering chains on Amazon. I bought the 20" Poulan and they recommended this chain for the saw but it clearly doesn't fit. It should be the D70 not D72 chain for the saw. I damaged my saw a little becasue I couldn't get the chain tight enough. Lesson learned however.

I purchased this chain for my Husky 455 Rancher. I was in a hurry and just needed to put the order in... I saw the Husqvarna brand and the listing said it would fit my saw.... so I ordered it. I have a huge Maple tree that I needed to cut up so instead of sharpening the chain on my saw as I have been doing, I decided to put this new chain on the saw. When I took the old chain off (the original to the saw) I saw that it was labeled 47.... this new one is labeled 80. At the time I wasn't sure what those numbers meant. Apparently.... the H80 chain is a safety chain designed to limit kickback. Well it also limits cutting. Frankly, the old dull original chain cut better than this brand new chain. My saw originally came with the H47 chain and always cut beautifully, and while I suppose it may be a bit more dangerous, I have never had any issues with kickback. I do take precautions such as always having a firm grip on the saw and I try to keep my body out of line with the saw etc...I also wear chaps and a helmet with face shield and ear protection. I have since bought a few new H47 chains and they are like night and day over this H80.... if you are going to buy this safety chain, you may as well also buy a cheap underpowered saw to go with it because that is what it will feel like you have.

Very disappointed to see the "safety" rakers! This was not at all clear in the description. I would not have bought them...

Chain broke after cutting for about an hour.

It wear out to fast. I wouldn't buy again.

chain broke after using it for about an hour. never had anything like it happen. the customer service is great tho, i got a full refund

This is a safety chain which means i won't be able to file down the depth gauges when i sharpen it myself. Not what i was after.

I ordered this for a Remington because Remington was listed as one it would work for. It doesn't work for a Remington.

It did not work for my saw.

chain was too long, sent them back

WRONG SIZE IN CONTAINER, PACKAGE SAID 20" BUT WAS 22"

This does NOT fit a Remington 20 inch chainsaw. Don't buy this for a Remington

this item does not fit Remington its too long

Beware that you cannot return this item if does not work. I ordered this instead of an 18 inch chain. It was never opened, but still not returnable.

was prefabricated in size than ordered; I tried to remove studs to resize it; but was impossible.

It is the cheaper chain with the stamped raker.

well used it on cutting one tree and the chain broke and I wont ever buy the Husqvarna chain again cause it was not worth the money I paid

First time we put this on our Husqvarna 455 rancher & used it, some of the teeth broke. They will not let me return or exchange it!! I am not happy at all & very disapointed!!

This is a safety chain!!!!Not a standard chain! It is a special low-kickback chain, the kind with the hooked depth guides (the ones that can't be ground down after multiple sharping iterations.)This should absolutely be in the product description, this was a waste of my time.It should be noted that this is the same stock chain that comes with the Husky Rancher 455 and some others. If you are looking for that exact chain (and most people are not) than this is it. Most people have little use for these. "Rancher" or "Farm" entry type saws typically only have enough power to make kick-back a moderate concern. This same information can be read in your owners manual. What is driving this is liability.The Husqvarna H47-72 Chain Loop would be a choice for clean wood, but it needs to be noted the Husqvarna has been bought out by Pullman. So for me the ONLY real choice for saw blades is Stihl brand now.
