KAKEI 16" Chainsaw Chain 3-Pack .325" LP .043" Gauge 64L — Semi-Chisel, Heat-Treated German Steel

KAKEI's 3-pack 16-inch semi-chisel chains are .325" low-profile pitch, .043" gauge with 64 drive links — built for quieter, lower-kickback cutting on compatible Husqvarna and DeWalt models.

These replacement chains are engineered to match common 16" guide bars used on handheld battery and gas saws, including Husqvarna 540iXP, T540iXP, T540XP and DeWalt DCCS674-80TXL064G. The pack includes three chains made from heat-controlled German steel, hardened rivets and Japanese chrome-plated cutters for improved wear resistance and consistent cutting performance. They meet ANSI B175.1-2012 kickback testing provisions and conform to CSA Z62.3 low-kickback performance standards when tested.

Which saws and guide bars will these chains fit?

These chains are specified for 16" bars with a .325" LP pitch, .043" gauge and 64 drive links. Confirm compatibility by checking the guide bar stamping or your saw owner's manual; you can also contact KAKEI support with your chainsaw model and bar part number for help.

• Fits models listed: Husqvarna 540iXP, T540iXP, T540XP and DeWalt DCCS674-80TXL064G
• Required specs: 16" length, .325" LP pitch, .043" gauge, 64 drive links
• Also fits other saws that use the same bar/chains specifications

How durable and sharp are these semi-chisel cutters?

Cutters are chrome-plated using precision Japanese technology, then ground and cold-headed by rotary machines to achieve a sharp profile and longer life. Rivets are hardened and quenched to resist wear and maintain consistent tension under load, which reduces the need for frequent retensioning.

• Chrome-plated cutters for corrosion resistance and edge life
• German steel with controlled heating and punching for flatness and toughness
• Hardened rivets to minimize elongation and wear

What safety and performance standards do these chains meet?

The chains were tested to meet the kickback performance provisions of ANSI B175.1-2012 and comply with CSA Z62.3 low-kickback performance requirements. They are semi-chisel cutters, which balance fast cutting with lower maintenance than full-chisel designs and can be easier to keep within safe operating parameters.

• ANSl B175.1-2012 kickback performance tested
• Meets CSA Z62.3 low-kickback standards when tested
• Semi-chisel design for consistent performance and easier upkeep

How should I choose and install the correct chain?

Select a replacement chain by matching pitch, gauge, length and drive link count to your bar and sprocket. Before installation, lay out the chain to ensure arrows or drive links face the correct direction, wear protective gloves, follow the saw manufacturer's tensioning procedure and lubricate the chain with suitable bar oil.

• Match pitch, gauge, drive links and bar length exactly
• Install with drive links engaging the sprocket and cutters pointing forward
• Set proper tension and use bar oil; recheck after a few cuts

Who is this for: This 3-pack is aimed at homeowners, landscapers and professionals who need multiple fresh replacement chains for 16" bars — especially owners of compatible Husqvarna and DeWalt models who want a balance of cutting speed, durability and reduced kickback risk. If you maintain several saws or frequently reseat chains during heavy use, the three-chain pack gives spares for longer intervals between purchases.
