Savior 16-inch Chainsaw Bar + 2-Pack 3/8LP .043 55DL Chains — Fits Stihl MS170/MS180, Low-Kickback Reversible Bar

This kit bundles a 16-inch reversible guide bar with two semi-chisel, low-kickback saw chains plus protective accessories so you can replace worn components and get back to work quickly. The bar uses a 7-tooth sprocket nose and A074 tail mount code (MLE series), and the chains are heat-treated at every rivet for reinforced link strength. Included extras — storage bags, a bar cover, and gloves — protect the components and make transport straightforward.

Which Stihl models will this 16" bar and chain fit?

The Savior combo matches common Stihl guide-bar fittings and replaces OEM part 164MLEA074 / 3005 008 3913. It fits a long list of small and entry-level saws, covering older and current models used for yard work and light cutting.

• Direct fit: Stihl MS170, MS171, MS180, MS180C-B, MS180C-BE, MS181, MS192C-E, MS192T C-E.
• Also compatible with many older/electric hybrid models like 009, 010, 011, 012, 015, 017–020 series and select E-series.
• Check your bar nose tooth count (7) and tail mount A074/MLE code before purchasing to confirm compatibility.

How durable and safe are these chains for everyday cutting?

Savior designs the chains for improved wear resistance and stronger links through rivet heat treatment and quenching, while the semi-chisel cutters offer a balance of cutting speed and easier maintenance. The low-kickback profile reduces kickback energy compared with full-chisel designs, making it more suitable for general yard and homeowner use.

• Chain material: heat-treated rivets and quenched link construction for durability.
• Cutter type: semi-chisel for smoother performance on mixed wood and easier filing.
• Profile: low-kickback geometry to help limit kickback severity during typical tasks.

What comes in the package and how does that help me maintain the saw?

The kit arrives ready to install with two chains and one reversible bar so you can swap or rotate components as wear occurs. Protective oil coating on each part slows surface corrosion during storage, and the included accessories make transport and basic maintenance more convenient.

• Included: 1 x 16" guide bar, 2 x saw chains (3/8"LP .043" 55DL), 2 x storage bags, 1 x bar cover, 1 x pair of XL gloves (not cut-resistant).
• Bar is reversible and lightweight for easier handling and chain rotation to extend service life.
• Protective oil finish reduces rust during storage and shipping.

How easy is installation and what should I check before fitting?

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic chainsaw maintenance: match sprocket nose tooth count and tail-mount code, fit the bar and chain on the sprocket, and tension per saw manufacturer recommendations. Always wear appropriate PPE and verify chain direction and tension before starting the saw.

• Verify 7-tooth sprocket nose and A074 (MLE) tail mount before buying.
• Ensure chain direction and proper tension; follow your saw manual for torque and tension specs.
• Wear eye protection and work gloves during installation; gloves in the kit are not cut-resistant.

Who this is for: This Savior 16" bar and dual-chain combo suits homeowners, landscapers, and light-commercial users who run Stihl small-to-mid-size saws and want an economical replacement with durability-focused construction. It’s ideal for routine pruning, firewood cutting, and property maintenance when you need a ready-to-install bar and extra chains plus storage protection in a single purchase.
