KAKEI 20-Inch Chainsaw Chain .325 Pitch .050 Gauge 78 Drive Links — 3-Pack Full-Chisel, Heat-Treated

If you need replacement chains that balance cutting performance with durable construction, this KAKEI three-chain set is built to match common 20-inch guide bars and popular homeowner and pro saw models. Each chain is manufactured from heat-treated German steel with hardened rivets and Japanese chrome-plated cutters, then ground and cold-headed for a keen edge out of the box. The package includes protective oil to resist corrosion during storage and transport.

Will this chain fit my chainsaw and guide bar?

Compatibility depends on four specifications: pitch, gauge, overall length (drive link count), and drive link type. This set is .325" pitch, .050" gauge, and includes 78 drive links—confirm those values on your bar stamp or in the saw owner’s manual before ordering.

• Fits bars and saws that require .325" pitch, .050" gauge, 78 drive links.
• Listed compatible models include Echo CS-490/440 and Craftsman S205/CMXGSAMY462S.
• Contact KAKEI support with your bar part number for compatibility help.
• Package contains three identical chains for spare or multi-saw use.

How is the chain made and what performance can I expect?

KAKEI chains combine heat-controlled German steel for strength with hardened, quenched rivets to reduce wear and help maintain consistent tension. Cutters receive Japanese chrome plating and precision grinding so they arrive sharp and retain cutting edges longer under typical woodcutting tasks.

• German steel with controlled heating and punching improves flatness and toughness.
• Hardened and quenched rivets resist elongation and wear.
• Chrome-plated, machine-ground cutters offer sharper initial performance and better edge life.
• Protective oil applied to resist corrosion while stored or in transit.

What safety or maintenance steps should I follow when using these chains?

Full-chisel chains cut aggressively and can increase the chance of kickback if misused, so only operators experienced with kickback-prone cutters should fit them. Keep the chain tensioned and lubricated per your saw manufacturer’s guidelines, check the chain for damage before each use, and always use proper PPE.

• Only install if you understand kickback risks and safe handling techniques.
• Follow the saw manual for correct chain tension and bar lubrication.
• Inspect cutters and rivets for damage; replace if cracked, broken, or excessively worn.
• Use a sharp file or professional sharpening when edges dull to restore cutting performance.

Who is this for: This KAKEI 3-pack is aimed at homeowners, landscapers, and professional users who need spare or replacement 20-inch chains that deliver sharp initial cutting and robust construction. It’s ideal if you operate saws that match .325" pitch, .050" gauge, 78 drive link specifications and want pre-sharpened, corrosion-protected chains for frequent cutting or for keeping on hand as backups. If you're unsure about fit, KAKEI customer support can verify compatibility using your bar or saw part number.
