KAKEI 20" Skiptooth Chainsaw Chain 3-Pack 3/8" Pitch .050" Gauge 72 Links — Full Chisel, Chrome Cutters

This set of three 20" skip-tooth chains from KAKEI is built for aggressive cutting and compatibility with popular saws like Stihl MS311/MS391 and Husqvarna 455/460, plus many Poulan Pro and rancher-style models. The chains combine heat-treated steel rivets, chrome-plated cutters, and corrosion-resistant protection oil to offer durable performance for limbing, felling and firewood preparation. Before fitting, confirm your saw's pitch, gauge and drive link count to ensure a correct match.

How does this skip-tooth chain perform during heavy cutting?

The skip-tooth layout reduces the number of cutters, letting the chain clear chips faster and requiring less power from the saw during large-diameter cuts. Full-chisel cutters deliver a sharp, aggressive bite for fast cutting when guided correctly, making the set a good choice for experienced users tackling thicker wood.

• Skip-tooth design improves chip clearance and reduces drag.
• Full-chisel cutters provide fast, efficient cutting on hardwoods and softwoods.
• Heat-treated rivets and flatness control resist stretching under load.

Will these chains fit my chainsaw and guide bar?

Match three key measurements: pitch (3/8"), gauge (.050"), and drive link count (72). Most 20" bars stamped with those numbers will accept this chain; if in doubt, check the guide bar side stamp or your owner’s manual for exact specs.

• 3/8" pitch and .050" gauge are standard for many mid-to-large saws.
• 72 drive links fits 20" bars designed for that link count.
• Contact KAKEI support with your chainsaw or bar part number for confirmation.

What materials and manufacturing steps improve durability?

KAKEI employs controlled heating and punching processes to enhance steel toughness and maintain flatness along the chain, while rivets are hardened and quenched for wear resistance. Cutters receive a chrome-plated finish and precision grinding for a sharper edge out of the box.

• Temperature-controlled heat treatment for consistent toughness and flatness.
• Hardened, quenched rivets reduce elongation and tension variation.
• Chrome-plated, rotary-ground cutters for improved edge retention and initial sharpness.

How should I maintain and handle these replacement chains?

Keep the chain lubricated during operation and inspect tension and sharpness regularly to maintain cutting performance and safety. The chains ship with protective oil to resist corrosion in storage, but routine cleaning and proper bar-and-chain oiling are essential for long service life.

• Use appropriate bar-and-chain oil and check oil feed before each use.
• Maintain correct chain tension; retighten when cold and recheck after running.
• Sharpen or replace cutters when performance drops or teeth are damaged.
