KAKEI 16-inch .325" Pitch Chainsaw Chain 3-Pack — .063" Gauge, 62 Drive Links, Micro Chisel

KAKEI’s 16-inch .325" pitch, .063" gauge micro chisel chains—62 drive links—are a 3-pack replacement chain engineered for durable cutting and reduced kickback on compatible chainsaws like STIHL 025, MS250, MS251.

If you need reliable replacement chains that match OEM fit and improve long-term wear resistance, this KAKEI set delivers. Manufactured from heat-controlled German steel with hardened rivets and Japanese chrome-plated cutters, the chains are produced to tight tolerances for consistent tension, sharper cutting edges, and corrosion protection from a protective oil finish. They meet recognized kickback-performance standards when tested to ANSI B175.1-2012 and CSA Z62.3 benchmarks.

Which saws and bars will this KAKEI 16" chain fit?

This 16-inch chain uses a .325" pitch, .063" gauge and 62 drive links—match those four parameters to your bar and saw. It’s commonly compatible with STIHL models such as 025, MS250, and MS251 when paired with a 16" bar stamped for 62 links.

• Confirm pitch (.325"), gauge (.063"), drive links (62) and bar length (16").
• Check the guide bar stamp or your owner’s manual for exact specs.
• Contact KAKEI support with your chainsaw/bar part number for fit help.

How is this chain made to last and stay sharp?

KAKEI combines material choice and precision processes: German steel with controlled heating and punching improves toughness and flatness, while all rivets are hardened and quenched to resist wear. Cutters are chrome-plated using Japanese finishing techniques and are ground and cold-headed on rotary machines for a consistent, sharper edge.

• Heat-treated German steel reduces deformation and improves strength.
• Hardened, quenched rivets lower elongation and maintain tension.
• Chrome-plated, machine-ground cutters deliver longer edge life and consistent bite.

What safety and performance standards does this chain meet?

The chain is built to meet low-kickback performance when tested per ANSI B175.1-2012 and complies with CSA Z62.3 kickback performance requirements. That means the design and testing process aims to reduce the risk of kickback behavior relative to non-rated chains, while still providing efficient cutting.

• Tested to ANSI B175.1-2012 kickback provisions.
• Meets CSA Z62.3 low-kickback criteria.
• Sold in a 3-chain pack so you can replace multiple chains without repeated purchases.

How do I install and maintain these replacement chains?

Installation follows the same steps as most chains: match chain orientation to the bar sprocket, tension per your saw manual, and check chain direction before starting. Maintenance includes regular sharpening, proper lubrication, and periodic rivet and link inspection to preserve performance and safety.

• Align drive links to the guide bar groove and the sprocket teeth correctly.
• Set tension so the chain snaps back into place but moves freely by hand.
• Keep the chain oiled during use and sharpen cutters as they dull.

Who is this for? Hobbyist woodcutters, pro landscapers, and homeowners who own a compatible chainsaw and want reliable, lower-kickback replacement chains will find this KAKEI 3-pack practical. It’s designed for people who prefer OEM-style fit and finish, expect consistent cutting performance across multiple chains, and value durable metallurgy and precision manufacturing in a competitively priced multi-pack.
