KAKEI 18in .325" .063" Chainsaw Chain 3-Pack — 68 Drive Links, Full-Chisel Chrome-Plated Cutters

KAKEI's 3-pack 18-inch full-chisel chains are replacement saw chains sized .325" pitch, .063" gauge, with 68 drive links engineered to fit pre-2023 Stihl models like 025, MS250 and MS251.

This replacement chain set includes three identical full-chisel chains made from heat-treated German steel and finished with chrome-plated cutters for longer edge life. Each chain is stamped for .325" pitch, .063" gauge and 68 drive links to match older Stihl bars; confirm your bar stamp or owner’s manual before installing. The package is optimized for users who need multiple spares for heavy cutting tasks and for those who prefer a sharper, aggressive cutter profile.

Will this chain fit my Stihl saw and guide bar?

Compatibility depends on four measurements: pitch, gauge, drive-link count and bar length. This set is for 18-inch bars that require .325" pitch, .063" gauge and 68 drive links. Newer MS250s from 2022 onward sometimes use .050" gauge bars, so check the bar side stamp or manual before purchase.

• Pitch: .325"
• Gauge: .063" (check bar stamp)
• Drive links: 68
• Bar length equivalence: 18 inches

How does the KAKEI chain perform compared with OEM options?

KAKEI uses German steel with controlled heating and hardened rivets to improve toughness and reduce stretching over time. Cutters are chrome-plated and precision-ground on rotary machines, delivering a sharp edge that resists corrosion thanks to a protective oil finish. While full-chisel cutters are more aggressive and cut faster, they also require careful handling and routine sharpening for consistent life.

• Material: heat-treated German steel for durability
• Cutters: chrome-plated, factory-sharpened
• Rivets: hardened and quenched to reduce wear
• Finish: protective oil to minimize corrosion

Is this the right choice for safety and maintenance?

Full-chisel chains cut quickly but are more prone to kickback and will dull faster on dirty wood than semi-chisel types. Prioritize correct mounting, chain tension, and a sharp-file maintenance routine; wear appropriate PPE and follow your chainsaw's safety guidance. The package carries a warning: do not use these chains without experience handling kickback-prone chain designs.

• Kickback risk: higher than semi-chisel variants
• Maintenance: frequent sharpening and tension checks
• PPE: gloves, eye protection, chaps, and hearing protection
• Installation: verify pitch, gauge, and drive-link count first

What comes in the box and how many chains are included?

This listing contains three identical 18" chains, each meeting the .325"/.063"/68 specifications and finished to resist corrosion out of the package. The multi-pack is convenient for users who want spare chains on hand, rotate chains to extend life, or outfit multiple saws with the same specification. If your saw requires the newer .050" gauge, check the KAKEI store for alternate listings.

• Quantity: 3 chains per package
• Specification: 18" / .325" pitch / .063" gauge / 68 drive links
• Profile: full-chisel cutters
• Included protection: factory-applied oil to resist rust

Who is this for? This 3-pack is aimed at experienced homeowners, landscapers and professional users who run Stihl saw models compatible with .063" gauge 18" bars and who prefer the faster, cleaner cuts of full-chisel cutters. It’s ideal for people who keep spare chains on hand, perform their own maintenance and can manage the higher kickback profile responsibly. If you’re unsure about gauge or fit, check your guide bar stamp or contact KAKEI support for help matching the correct chain size.
