GSSHBR 18" Chainsaw Replacement Chains 5-Pack — .325" Pitch .050" Gauge, 72 Drive Links, Hard-Chrome Durability

GSSHBR's 5-pack of 18-inch replacement chains features .325" pitch, .050" gauge, and 72 drive links to restore cutting performance on compatible saws.

If your chainsaw is running dull, vibrating excessively, or producing slow cuts, swapping in a fresh chain designed for .325" pitch and .050" gauge can make a big difference. This set includes five identical 18-inch chains built with hardened rivets and a hard-chrome outer layer to resist wear, minimize frequent adjustments, and keep cutting consistent across jobs.

Which saws and guide bars will these 18" chains fit?

These chains are made to match bars and sprockets that accept 18" length, .325" pitch, .050" gauge, and 72 drive links. They replace common OEM part configurations on several popular brands when those specifications align.

• Compatible brands commonly include Husqvarna, Dolmar, Jonsered, Echo, Makita, Poulan, and Ryobi when specs match.
• Confirm your saw’s bar length, pitch, gauge, and drive link count before ordering.
• Not suitable for bars or sprockets requiring different pitch, gauge, or a drive link count other than 72.

How does the chain construction improve durability and cutting?

Each chain is finished with a hard chrome outer layer that slows surface wear and helps maintain tooth geometry longer than untreated metal. Hardened rivets strengthen link connections so the chain resists stretching and withstands heavy loads for extended service life.

• Hard chrome finish reduces abrasion and extends time between regrinds.
• Hardened rivets minimize elongation and loosening under load.
• Design aims for lower vibration and smooth feeding to reduce operator fatigue.

What performance can I expect for cutting and kickback control?

The cutters are profiled for steady, efficient cutting with attention to low kickback characteristics. Reduced vibration helps you make uniform cuts while feeling less hand and arm strain during repeated use.

• Smoother, faster cutting compared with worn chains.
• Lower vibration profile for improved comfort on longer tasks.
• Built for consistent chip removal and heat dispersion during extended cutting.

How should I install and maintain these replacement chains?

Installation is straightforward if your bar and sprocket match the chain specifications. Regular maintenance — proper tensioning, routine sharpening, adequate lubrication, and cleaning — will keep the chain performing well and extend its usable life.

• Fit to the bar and sprocket, then set correct tension following your saw’s manual.
• Sharpen cutters as needed to preserve cutting efficiency and reduce motor strain.
• Keep the chain well-lubricated and clean sawdust and debris from the bar groove.

Who is this for: This five-pack is ideal for landscapers, arborists, property owners, and rental fleets who need multiple ready-to-install 18" chains to keep workflow moving without downtime. It’s especially practical for users who service multiple saws or prefer keeping spare chains on hand for quick swaps during busy cutting days. Always check your saw’s bar length, pitch, gauge, and drive link count before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
