UPFOREST 20 Inch Chainsaw Chain 3-Pack — .050" Gauge, 3/8" Pitch, Low-Kickback, Hardened German Steel

UPFOREST's 20-inch low-kickback chainsaw chain 3-pack is a heavy-duty replacement set (.050" gauge, 3/8" pitch, 70 drive links) engineered for durability, reduced kickback, and broad compatibility with Craftsman, Echo, Homelite, Poulan, Remington and similar saws.

These chains are built from high-grade German steel with controlled heat treatment, hardened and quenched rivets, and Japanese chrome-plated cutters for extended wear resistance and sharper cutting performance. Each chain ships with protective oil to guard against corrosion, and the low-kickback design meets ANSI B175.1-2012 kickback performance when tested to that standard. The 3-pack gives homeowners and pros spare chains for long work sessions or quick on-site replacements.

Which saw models will these chains fit?

UPFOREST 20-inch chains are designed to fit many 20" bar chainsaws that use a 3/8" pitch, .050" gauge and 70 drive link layout. The listing includes common Echo, Poulan, Homelite and McCulloch models, but compatibility depends on your specific saw's bar and sprocket dimensions.

• Echo examples: CS-452, CS-550EVL, CS-590, CS-600P, CS-620P, CS-650EVL, CS-660EVL, CS-670, CS-680, CS-750, CS-6700, CS-8000
• Poulan examples: 330, 3400, 3450, 3700, 5200, PP5020
• Homelite examples: Super XL, Super XLAO, XL 12; McCulloch: 10-10A, Pro Mac 610/650/700
• Always confirm pitch, gauge and drive link count against your saw’s bar and sprocket spec before purchase

How does the low-kickback design help during cutting?

The chain is manufactured to meet low-kickback performance requirements so users experience fewer sudden upward kicks when the nose contacts wood. This reduces the chance of loss of control and makes the chain better suited for general property work and occasional felling where safety is important.

• Meets ANSI B175.1-2012 kickback performance when tested according to that standard
• Profiled cutters and tie straps reduce aggressive bite at the nose
• Good option for homeowners and light-commercial operators prioritizing safer handling

What construction and coating features extend chain life?

UPFOREST uses German steel with precise heating and punching processes to improve toughness and flatness. Rivets are hardened and quenched for greater wear resistance, while Japanese chrome plating on cutters adds corrosion resistance and helps maintain a sharp edge longer.

• German steel base with temperature-controlled heat treatment for consistent toughness
• Hardened, quenched rivets to resist elongation and wear
• Chrome-plated, machine-ground cutters for durable sharpness
• Each chain includes protective oil to limit surface rust during storage

How should I maintain and install these replacement chains?

Install the chain following your saw maker’s instructions, tension to the correct specification, and check bar and sprocket alignment. Regular sharpening, proper lubrication, and prompt replacement of worn parts will keep cutters cutting efficiently and safely.

• Fit to a bar and sprocket that accept 3/8" pitch, .050" gauge, 70 drive links
• Tension the chain until snug with a small amount of movement; recheck under load
• Keep the chain bar-oiled and sharpen the cutters when you notice dulling

Who is this for: This 3-pack is ideal for homeowners, landscapers and light-commercial users who need reliable, cost-effective replacement chains for 20" bars. It suits anyone who prefers to keep spare chains on hand for continuous cutting tasks, wants a lower-kickback option for safer operation, and values construction features that lengthen service life.
