Hipa 18in Chainsaw Chain 3-Pack (3/8in LP, .050, 62DL) — Low-Kickback, Heat-Treated Rivets

Hipa 3PCS 18" chainsaw chain is a ready-to-install replacement set (3/8" LP, .050" gauge, 62 drive links) designed for improved durability and reduced kickback on compatible models.

These three 18-inch chains arrive pre-coated with protective oil and heat-treated rivets so you can swap them onto compatible saws the moment they arrive. Engineered with a low-kickback, full-chisel tooth profile and perforated drive plates, the set balances cutting speed with wear resistance. The combination of a thin .050" gauge and perforated construction helps reduce friction and heat buildup for longer, more consistent service life across routine suburban and light-professional tasks.

Will this chain fit my Poulan PR4218 or similar saw?

Yes — the dimensions and link count match common OEM specifications for several 18" saw models. Confirm your saw’s pitch, gauge and drive link count before ordering to ensure a precise fit.

• Pitch: 3/8" low profile (LP)
• Gauge: .050" (1.3 mm)
• Drive links: 62 DL — fits the guide bar slot
• Compatible: Poulan PR4218, PP4218; Ego AC1800 / CS1800; Kobalt KCS 180B-06; Echo CS-400

How does the low-kickback design affect cutting and safety?

The chain uses a low-kickback tooth geometry that reduces the sudden upward force if the tip contacts material. That design lowers transmitted kickback energy and produces a steadier cutting feel, which helps with control during repetitive cuts.

• Full-chisel profile for efficient material removal
• Reduced kickback energy for safer operator handling
• More even force distribution to reduce bar and chain wear

What benefits does the perforated and coated construction provide?

Perforations in the drive and reverse plates reduce contact area, which lowers friction and improves airflow around the chain. A surface protective oil coating prevents surface rust and eases initial installation straight from the package.

• Perforated plates decrease pin and guide-plate wear
• Improved heat dissipation during extended cutting
• Protective oil coating guards against corrosion in storage

How durable are the rivets and overall chain assembly?

Each rivet receives heat treatment and quenching to improve tensile strength and resistance to breakage under load. The combination of treated rivets, a full-chisel edge, and reduced friction design yields a chain built for repetitive cutting while maintaining consistent tension.

• Heat-treated, quenched rivets for stronger joints
• Design minimizes chain softening from dry friction
• Ready-to-install condition reduces prep time

Who is this for: This Hipa 3-piece chain set is aimed at homeowners, landscapers and light-duty pros who need reliable replacement chains for 18" guide bars on compatible saw models. It’s a practical choice when you want a balance of cutting speed, lower kickback characteristics and corrosion resistance for regular yard work, pruning and small tree felling.
