Each chain is manufactured from heat‑treated German steel, chrome‑plated for corrosion resistance, and finished with precision grinding to deliver sharp cutters out of the box. The pack is sized 20 inches with a .325\" pitch, .063\" gauge and 81 drive links — verify those measurements on your saw's manual or the bar stamp before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I confirm this chain fits my chainsaw?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFit depends on four measurements on your saw or guide bar: pitch, gauge, length and drive link count.

This three‑chain pack is a cost‑effective choice for frequent users who prefer full‑chisel performance and plan to maintain their chains regularly. If your Stihl bar uses a .050\" gauge (some later MS271 bars), choose the matching .050\" KAKEI models instead; otherwise, confirm the stamped specifications and order this 81‑drive‑link, .325\"\/.063\" set for reliable replacement power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this chain fit my Stihl MS291 with a 20-inch bar?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes if your bar is 20\" with .325\" pitch, .063\" gauge and 81 drive links; verify the bar stamp before buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is this chain low‑kickback or full‑chisel?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: This is a full‑chisel chain, offering faster cuts but higher kickback risk; use only with appropriate training and PPE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"KAKEI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56824580833620,"sku":"B0B7B4GL97","price":80.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/2652\/4244\/files\/kakei-front-packaging-20-inch-chains.jpg?v=1786984866","url":"https:\/\/gardenluxe.co.uk\/products\/kakei-20-chainsaw-chain-325-pitch-063-gauge-81-links-3-pack-full-chisel-replacement-for-pre-2023-stihl-ms271-ms291-ms261","provider":"Gardenluxe Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
