Will this chain fit my EGO AC2005, CS2000 or CS2005 chainsaw?

Compatibility depends on four key specifications: pitch, gauge, bar length and drive link count. This SawWorks chain matches 20" bars that require 3/8" pitch, .050" gauge, and 69 drive links—confirm those numbers on your bar side stamp or owner’s manual before ordering.

• Pitch: 3/8"
• Gauge: .050"
• Drive links: 69
• Bar length: 20 inches

How durable and sharp is the SawWorks semi-chisel chain?

Cutters use advanced Japanese chrome plating and precision cold-heading to provide high hardness and wear resistance for prolonged sharpness. The chain’s hardened rivets and German-steel body preserve flatness and toughness under load, reducing the frequency of sharpening and minimizing tension drift during use.

• Chrome-plated cutters resist wear and preserve edge geometry
• Cold-headed, precision-ground cutters for consistent tooth profile
• Hardened rivets increase joint strength and reduce elongation
• Engineered heat treatment for improved toughness and flatness

Does this chain meet safety and kickback standards?

The chain was tested to meet the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1-2012 and conforms to CSA Standard Z62.3 for low kickback chains when evaluated under those test provisions. Using a low-kickback chain lowers the risk of sudden reactive forces, but safe operation still depends on proper technique, sharpness and bar/chain compatibility.

• Tested to ANSI B175.1-2012 kickback provisions
• Meets CSA Z62.3 low-kickback performance
• Recommended inspection before each use
• Replace or sharpen when cutters dull or teeth damage

What cutting tasks is this 20" semi-chisel chain best suited for?

This semi-chisel chain balances efficient cutting with easier maintenance, making it a versatile choice for yard work, storm cleanup, pruning, and light to medium milling. Arborists, landscapers and homeowners who need predictable feed rate and control will find it well suited for crosscuts, limbing and general firewood processing.

• Pruning limbs and general trimming
• Firewood cutting and small-diameter milling
• Storm cleanup and property maintenance
• Routine backyard and professional tree care tasks

Who is this for: The SawWorks 20" replacement chain is ideal for EGO AC2005, CS2000 and CS2005 owners who want a heavy-duty aftermarket chain that prioritizes durability, stable cutting performance and compliance with kickback safety standards. It’s a good fit for homeowners and professionals who check bar stamping for compatibility and want a chain that keeps sharpness longer while reducing maintenance intervals.
