very good when digging around stump to cut roots for stump removal, just don't hit any rocks, and unlike a normal chain, dirt does not dull it instantly.

I have had this chain for over a month now. I have cut approximately 13 trees down, cut limbs off, then into 16inch pieces still sharp as the day it came in. It don't but piles of dust down it shoots out long shavings. Today i messed up got my bar pinched bad actually bent a little bit.i bought I had the same the I guy this current l chain. I fought for awhile and could not get unstuck so I went and got pry bars and hammers to try and splint trunk and free up chain. Didn't work I got mad took pry bar and hammer and beat the chain out of tree. Tore up some teeth flatten one it. It looked like.i probably shouldn't have but I had to know. The chain would still spin free on bar I started saw and it moved fine. Walked over and it dropped they tree.i couldn't tell the bad teeth.. My buddy showed up in let him try the chain out he gave had the chance yet but was crazy excited about how fast it cut threw cutting up the trees I dropped and the but cut slices on ground. Then I showed him the damage I did to chain. He is now going to be a customer of yours. Oh yeah no I'm not cutting little garden brush. When I say tree the smallest one is around 14" at base

We have a lot of old elm trees on our property, and would end up having to replace chains after less than 30 minutes of use. I decided to try this upgrade, and it made a world of difference. Even when I accidentally hit the ground, it doesn��t seem to dull the tips. Even not being able to shsrpen them becsuse neither I nor any of the businesses offering sharpening services near me hsbe the eauipment to do carvide chsind, it��s still worrh hsving a chain that lasts 5x-10x lomger thsn a standard one.Once you go carbide, you��ll never go back.

These carbide chainsaw chains are great for prolonged use. I cut up 40 firewood logs roughly 18 feet long and 12 to 20 inches in diameter and the carbide chain is still sharp. A regular chain only lasts about 5 to 7 logs before needs tobe resharpened. They cost more but are well worth it. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Another one that seems to last longer, but not as aggressive? I��d rather them last longer because the way they make them anymore. I only get 30 to 1 hour of good cuts and that��s without hitting ground.
