E & S 20" Chainsaw Chains 3-Pack — .325" Pitch .050" Gauge 78-Link, German Steel Chrome-Plated Durability

E & S 3-pack 20" chainsaw chains (.325" pitch, .050" gauge, 78 drive links) are heavy-duty replacement chains engineered for longer life, safer cutting, and wide compatibility with popular gas and electric saws.

These replacement chains are built from DIN-certified German steel with industrial hard chrome plating, and they combine semi-chisel teeth, hardened rivets and safety-tested construction to deliver reliable performance on firewood, storm cleanup and professional logging tasks. Each pack contains three identical 20-inch chains designed to fit many major chainsaw brands that use a .325" pitch and .050" gauge with 78 drive links, making them a convenient and cost-effective spare or swap set.

How durable are these chains under real working conditions?

Durability was a core design goal—high-hardness German steel plus a 30μm chrome layer resists abrasion and extends edge life. In independent lab tests the steel and plating combination maintained sharpness through thousands of hardwood cuts and reduces wear from grit and frozen bark.

• DIN-certified German steel (HRC 58–62) resists abrasion.
• 30μm industrial hard chrome plating for extended edge life.
• Lab-tested longevity: significantly more cuts versus standard chains.

What makes the cutting teeth effective and safer?

The semi-chisel tooth profile uses angled top plates with rounded corners for a balance of speed and reduced kickback risk, while a heat-treated process increases tooth resilience. The geometry also helps shed sawdust and debris for steadier cutting in resinous or sandy wood.

• Semi-chisel teeth with rounded edges reduce kickback hazards.
• Precision heat treatment increases tooth toughness and edge retention.
• Self-cleaning top-plate angles improve cutting in sticky or gritty wood.

Will these chains fit my saw and how easy is installation?

Each chain is laser-etched with guide marks to help align links during installation, and the spec (.325" pitch, .050" gauge, 78 drive links) matches many popular gas and electric saw models. Always confirm your saw’s bar and sprocket requirements against the chain specs or consult the included model mapping table.

• Laser-etched guide marks for straightforward alignment.
• Compatible with many Husqvarna, Stihl, Echo, Makita and similar models.
• Pack of three makes on-site swaps faster and cost-effective.

How is safety engineered into these chains?

The chains meet established North American safety standards and include design features that reduce derailment and snap risk. Reinforced tie straps, anti-snap grooves and chrome-nickel coated rivets help the chain tolerate high RPMs and cold temperatures without losing integrity.

• Passed ANSI B175.1 and CSA Z62.3 safety benchmarks for kickback and retention.
• Triple-reinforced tie straps and anti-snap grooves prevent derailment.
• Aerospace-grade rivets with chrome-nickel coating resist stretch and fatigue.

Who this is for: The E & S 3 Pack 20" chains are aimed at homeowners who want reliable spares for seasonal work, arborists and contractors needing robust chains that hold an edge under heavy use, and anyone running saws from popular brands requiring .325" pitch, .050" gauge, 78-drive-link chains. These sets are especially useful when you want longer-lasting cutting performance, easier field replacement, and chains that conform to established safety standards.
