8TEN 16-inch Chainsaw Chain 3-Pack — .043 Gauge, 3/8-inch Pitch, 55 Drive Links for 16-inch Bars

8TEN's 16" replacement chainsaw chain is a 3-pack of .043 gauge, 3/8" pitch chains with 55 drive links designed to fit many popular consumer saws.

This three-pack of 8TEN chains delivers a ready-to-install replacement when your original chain wears dull or stretches. Built for common 16-inch bars, the chains match a .043" gauge and 3/8" pitch with 55 drive links, so they fit a wide selection of OEM bars and models. The pack is intended as a cost-effective spare or seasonal refresh for homeowners, landscapers, and light-duty pros who work with small- to mid-size gas and electric chainsaws.

Will this chain fit my saw model?

Check three measurements on your existing chain or bar: pitch, gauge, and number of drive links. The 8TEN chain in this listing is 3/8" pitch, .043" gauge, and has 55 drive links — a common spec for 16" bars used on many consumer saws. Compatibility is broad but always verify your OEM part number or model list to be sure.

• Pitch: 3/8" (standard consumer saw spacing)
• Gauge: .043" (thickness fits matching guide bars)
• Drive links: 55 (count must match your saw's sprocket and bar)
• Common OEM cross-references: Carlton N4C-556, Oregon 90PX055G, Stihl 3610 005 0055

Which brands and models are compatible?

8TEN lists broad compatibility with many Stihl and McCulloch models and several OEM part numbers used by aftermarket manufacturers. If your saw model appears on the provided compatibility list, this chain is designed to be a direct replacement; otherwise use pitch, gauge, and drive link count to confirm fit. This pack suits both older and newer consumer saw models with 16" bars that share the same spec.

• Stihl series included: 009, 010, 011, 012, 015, 017–025 lineups and MS 150–MS 251 consumer models
• McCulloch models: D176 series, MacCat, EM 300s and select PM/PM series
• OEM cross-compatibility: fits parts referenced to 90PX055G and similar codes
• Ideal for replacement on many homeowner-grade 16" chainsaw bars

How should I install and maintain these chains?

Installation follows standard chainsaw chain replacement procedures: secure the saw, remove the clutch cover, release tension, replace chain and bar, then set proper tension. Regular maintenance—sharpening, correct tension, and lubrication—keeps cutting performance consistent and extends life. Use a bar groove cleaner and file or a professional sharpener for best results.

• Always disconnect spark plug or power before servicing
• Tension: snug with slight sag at the bottom of the bar
• Lubrication: keep bar and chain oiled during use
• Sharpening: file cutters when dull, replace if teeth are damaged

Who this is for: If you own a 16" chainsaw that requires a .043" gauge, 3/8" pitch chain with 55 drive links — especially Stihl and McCulloch consumer models — this 3-pack from 8TEN is a practical replacement or backup supply. It suits homeowners who cut firewood, property owners doing seasonal trimming, and small-scale contractors who prefer to keep spare chains on hand. Verify fit by matching pitch, gauge, and drive link count or by cross-referencing OEM part numbers before purchase.
