Side by Side Comparison of: Husqvarna vs Oregon

These chains can't be beat. They throw chips a long time. Have cut all types of wood with it and it stays sharp. Just make sure to keep oil in your oiler and you won't be disappointed.

This thing does exactly what it's meant for. It cuts right through sh!t. I had a bunch of limbs, cut right them. Sometimes you get on a terror and can't stop. I can advise that this will go right through a nightstand, which was frowned upon by my wife but wtf can you do. There is a door in my house that has been a bit lippy and i will let you know what happens.

I sharpened my last chain, with a Dremel, and that seemed okay, but nothing beats a new chain. I've decided to stick with Husqvarna brand chains and oils and such for my relatively new Husqvarna saw, and this chain was the right price, delivered in 2 days with Amazon Prime, what more could I want? Put on the new chain over the weekend, and out of the package it was super sharp and pulled nicely through walnut. Love love love it. I'm trying to decide, really, if I should bother sharpening the chain more than a few times or just get a couple of these guys on hand and swap out when necessary - about $16 bucks for a new chain versus half an hour (probably less with some practice) sharpening my chain with the dremel... After 3 dozen cuts on 12-18 inch walnut logs, the teeth still feel very sharp.

Perfect fit and function! My dad had been using the old, dull blade on his chainsaw and just running through oil on it. He said it was taking soooo long to cut down a a 4" diameter tree that he gave up on cutting trees and logs in the yard. I told him let me get a new chain and see the difference. Man, was he impressed. Definitely going to buy more of these as the chains wear out.

I have a pretty expensive still model chainsaw is well and I find myself going to the Husky so I'm not sure whether it's the chain or the Husky itself. Seems to hold a sharp thing very well. it's been doing extremely well on oak cedar and beachwood

I used to use Oregon chains as my replacement chain. They are available at Farm and Fleet and on sale they were around $18.00. Now the price has gone up and on sale they are closer to $20. When I saw this chain at this price - I got a spare right away. It might be my imagination, but it seems like the Husqvarna chain stays sharper longer too. In any case, being able to get an actual Husqvarna chain for my Husqvarna saw at a good price, just seems right!As the other reviewer states - be sure that the chain will fit your saw. I have a 350 with a 16" bar - (narrow kerf, 0.050") and this is the right chain for that bar.

Buying these chains online I get them for half the price of the Big Box stores. After the recent storms here in the northeast I have had a lot of trees to cut. I'm glad I bought 2 and not just 1.

Great chain saw blade. Have so far cut down 12 small trees, and its still sharp.will certainly buy this again

Perfect fit for my Craftsman 10 inch electric tree pruner. It was like I had a new tree pruner!

Fit perfect and works great at a way better price than my local area.

Right product, on time delivery....saved me a trip into town.

I bought this as a back-up chain. Good packaging, easy to know what is in my storage bin. It's an Oregon. You can't go wrong.

Very good product for the price.

nice but had to sharpen before I used it,

Works fine

The first one I bought arrived bent off center so it kept slipping the bar. But they immediately replaced it and the new one is good. The chain is more durable than most I have used. It stays sharp, I would estimate, about 25% longer than others I have had. I have cut down and broken down about 40 mid sized (4-10" trunk diameter) buck thorn trees this summer. I am at the point now that the chain finally needs sharpening.The way I look at it is that you should see chains as disposable. You should get one or two good sharpenings out of them so it is that initial stage before sharpening that sets most chains apart. This one has cut down a lot of stuff over many hours and I am happy with how it has held up.

It's a brand name saw chain.It's shiny.It's made of metal.It's a saw chain.It is what it is, and it does what it's supposed to do.

My only complaint is the package. The chain is pictured in a plastic container. The chains I bought are the correct item but came in card stock boxes. Card stock boxes get crushed and torn easily. That is perhaps not a problem when the purchased chain is placed on a saw right away and used. It does become a problem when the chain is carried as a spare. The plastic container is vastly superior for storage. Others have mentioned the plastic container is difficult to open. That is true, one does need a knife to open the package. However, I would much prefer to have to carefully cut the package open one time than have to deal with cardboard that is readily crushed and torn. That is my only reason for 4 stars and not 5. It is a good chain. If the picture illustrated a cardboard box I would have given 5 stars.As for the comments that the chain did not fit the 445; I have one of those as well as a 440e. This chain fits both of mine. . There are many chain specs that must match properly; not only the length but the number of drive links, the width of the slot the chain runs in and the pitch. When I buy chains I start with the catalog listing but then also verify the specs of the new chain match the specs that came listed with my saw.

Seems like a good chain...my problem was buying a saw with a manual oiler

Does the job

Works well.

Picture is a little deceiving b/c the one I got was a different brand, but works just as well and comes already oiled. Used a lot and still going strong@

It's a spare chain, I'm sure it will do the job.

Mine was in a white box. I assume the chain is made by Oregon. Will report back if any problem in use.

wrong chain to hard to return

good quality or better

I like it I got on time .I would recommend this to any one.

This chain works very well to break down limbs and small branches. It will last for many hours in this use. However, once you use it to cut up a few (3 or 4) 10-12" hardwood logs you'll find it dulling quite quickly. The saw definitely has the power to get through the wood but the blades just don't last. I think it's the technique used to sharpen them. It produces a hollow bevel thats pretty thin and dulled easily.If all you plan on doing is pruning small 3-4" branches this chain is perfect and will last hours and hours. Anything larger and it'll be up in smoke in no time flat.

Wish these chains are stronger. They chip and become dull pretty fast.

Got dull rather quickly. I could have been asking too much out of a 10" saw.

This is the chain recommended for my Remington electric 10" pole chainsaw, model # 106890-02. It fits but, with the tension adjustment out as far as it will go. As the chain stretches, with use, it's going to be too big. I'll have to see if I can get a link or two removed.

doesnt stay sharp long!

One small part arrived broken, so had to wait for replacement. Very impressed with Amazon's response to this problem.called on a public holiday, the replacement arrived thd next day! UPS picked up the damaged return item the following day. So problems were dealt with very efficiently.As to how well the saw works, yet to find out...hopefully this coming weekend.

Bought this for a Remington Pole saw and it's a little looser than the original chain...may want to check on the S39 chain...still works but takes more adjustments...still a good buy...

Could never get this to work on my Husqvarna saw. Had to take to local Ace Hardware, who put on another brand, Stihl, that worked perfectly. Cost, including the labor, about $5 more than just this chain.

I looked up blade length that corresponds with this package and it was the same as mine, So I thought it'd be the right one. NOPE!

This product is fine - BUT IS DOES NOT FIT! The descriptions says it fits a 445 Husky chainsaw, but it is at least 3-4 links short!Do NOT buy for this chainsaw unless you are willing to take it to a chainsaw shop and have them add more links to make it the right length

put it on my saw and doesn't seem to cut any better than the old one it replaced?

I apparently purchased the wrong replacement chain as it will not slide in the limb saw.

Item was as described but it was the wrong size. Needed 8" and return policy ended 2 days ago. Product is not opened and needs to be returned. We already ordered the correct size and ordered a second one also. Please return item and keep customer happy.

The chain will not tighten properly. It is approx 1 link too long making it unsafe to use. Will not reorder this item on this site.

I have the 16 chain. But the saw 16-Inch was defective and I sent it back and I need a return label for the chain to go back too.

I received 2 of these chains they were brand new right out of the box and they were dull, they could not cut through butter. Seemed like some sent me refurbished chains and forgot to sharpen them - TERRIBLE PRODUCT

Very poor quality chain. I recommend Oregon in the future. Ha s lasted on about 10 minutes of cutting wood and even when hand sharpened it didn't last more than 5 more minutes

I ordered this because the description says it fits the Husqvarna 435 chainsaw. This is not correct. This chain is WAAAAAY to short for the 435. I had to return it and buy the replacement chain at Lowe's for $20.

Does not fit my pole saw.

Received bare chain, not packaged as shown. Took forever to get, I suppose because it came from Ireland.

Ordered two chains, they didn't come in original package and didn't look new either.

The replacement chains are so bad forget cutting even small branches.You are better off using a used hand saw from 1890 AD (the 19th century)from your late great grandfather who fought in the American Civil War.I've purchased 3 of these (a mistake and complete waste of money).You can put the chains on backwards and they still will not help.

It does NOT work with the PLN1510 10" Poulan Pole Saw. Do not buy this chain if you have one of those Poluan pole saws. The chain is too large for the bar.

A poor fit makes this completely unusable. It comes off the track repeatedly which seems unsafe in most situations but in particular when it is 10 feet over your head. I disassembled and reassembled the chainsaw, hoping that it would work but it did not satisfactorily.
