Haven't had to sharpen one yet, they hold a good edge. I will buy this chain for all my saws because they are great quality and a fraction of the price. Review: Great value and solid performance - I’ve been impressed with this chain so far. It fits properly, installed easily, and cuts clean and smooth. No issues with vibration or tracking. I’m mostly using it for general property maintenance — trimming limbs, cutting up small fallen trees, nothing heavy commercial — and it’s been holding up well. Stays sharp longer than I expected at this price point. For typical homeowner use, it’s a great buy. Would purchase again. ## Features - 【NOTE】 2022 and older MS250 may have a .063" gauge bar - check to make sure your bar has .050" gauge like this chain.

Disengage the chain brake 2. Loosen the bar nuts 3. Lift the tip of the guide bar 4. Tighten the tensioning screw until the chain sits snugly against the bottom rail of the bar without slack and still rotates freely 5. Re-tighten the bar nuts **Q: How to reduce the risk of kickback?** A: If you are not experienced with chainsaws, use a low kickback chain (ANSI standard). Also, never saw using the "kickback danger zone" on the guide bar (the top of the bar tip); use the underside of the bar instead. **Q: What is ANSI?** A: The safety standard "B175.1" set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which outlines requirements for gasoline-powered chainsaws (chains), including provisions designed to reduce the risk of kickback injuries when cutting wood. **Q: How often should chainsaws be lubricated? Should I use a special lubricant for chainsaws?** A: - Fill the reservoir with lubricant every refueling and ensure the lubricant is properly delivered to the chain during operation. Improper lubrication can cause excessive wear, reduce cutting efficiency and increase the risk of chainsaw damage - Yes **Q: Full Chisel vs Semi-Chisel Chain – What's the difference?** A: Full chisel: sharper and cuts faster, but tends to dull when it encounters dirt and is prone to kickback. Semi-chisel: cuts slower than full chisel, but stays sharp longer, suitable in dirty environments. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than Oregon and OEM chains *by D***N on March 17, 2026* I tried out these chains and I was skeptical, but they cut smooth, dig in well, throw big chips, lubricate really well due to the oil hole and channels.
