EGO Power+ 20" Bar and Chain Set for CS2000/CS2005 - AK2005 OEM 20-inch, Low-Kickback

This 20" replacement bar and chain combo restores factory cutting performance for your EGO Power+ CS2000 or CS2005 electric chainsaw. Built as a genuine OEM part, the set matches the exact gauge and pitch specifications required for smooth, accurate cuts while maintaining safety features intended by the manufacturer. The reversible bar extends service life and the low-profile, low-kickback chain balances cutting efficiency with reduced risk of sudden reactive forces. Lightweight construction helps reduce arm fatigue during extended use.

What makes this bar and chain the right replacement for my EGO 20" chainsaw?

The AK2005 was designed as the original equipment match for CS2000 and CS2005 models, so it fits without modification and keeps the saw operating within its intended tolerances. Using the recommended bar and chain preserves performance and reduces wear on the drive sprocket and clutch components.

• Factory-specified .050-inch gauge and 3/8" low-profile pitch for perfect fit
• Reversible bar for even wear and longer service intervals
• Low-kickback chain pattern for safer operation
• Direct OEM compatibility avoids fitment adapters or adjustments

How does the reversible bar extend the product’s lifespan?

A reversible guide bar lets you flip the bar when one side shows wear, exposing a fresh cutting surface and balancing groove wear. This simple maintenance step delays the need for a full replacement and keeps chain alignment correct.

• Flip the bar to use the unused side and slow groove erosion
• Maintains proper chain seating and reduces vibration
• Reduces lifetime cost compared with non-reversible bars

Is this chain optimized for safety and user comfort?

The AK2005 chain combines a low-profile 3/8" pitch with a .050" gauge and a low-kickback cutter geometry, aiming to reduce sudden reactive forces while cutting. The bar and chain’s lightweight construction also eases handling, especially during longer cutting sessions.

• Low-kickback design lowers chances of violent chain reaction
• Lightweight bar reduces fatigue when making extended cuts
• Precise pitch and gauge keep smooth, consistent cutting action

What should I know about installation and maintenance?

Installation is straightforward on compatible EGO models: loosen the side cover, release chain tension, swap bar and chain, set proper tension, then resecure the cover. Routine maintenance—correct tensioning, cleaning the bar groove, and periodic sharpening—keeps cutting performance steady.

• Follow owner’s manual torque and tension specs for safe assembly
• Clean chips and debris from the bar groove after each use
• Sharpen or replace the chain when cutting slows or produces rough cuts

Who is this for: Owners of the EGO Power+ CS2000 or CS2005 electric chainsaws seeking an exact-fit, OEM-quality 20" guide bar and low-kickback chain to restore original cutting performance. It’s ideal for homeowners and light- to medium-duty users who value compatibility, safer cutting geometry, and the longer life afforded by a reversible bar.
