UpStart Components 16" Chainsaw Replacement Chain for Stihl MS 170 — 6-Pack, 3/8" Low-Profile .043" Gauge, 55 Drive Links

If you own a Stihl MS 170 (or a compatible saw bar with the same specifications), these replacement chains are sized and built for everyday woodcutting needs. Each chain in this six-pack is manufactured to 3/8" low-profile pitch with a .043" gauge and 55 drive links so you can swap out worn or damaged chains quickly and keep downtime to a minimum. The set is intended for users who want multiple spare chains on hand for faster maintenance, project continuity, or to share across jobsites.

How do I confirm this chain fits my Stihl MS 170?

Measure the pitch, gauge and number of drive links on your current chain or check the bar stamping. The Stihl MS 170 commonly uses a 16" bar with 3/8" low-profile pitch and .043" gauge, but bars and chains can vary by configuration—verify before ordering.

• Check the bar side for stamped length and drive link count.
• Confirm pitch by measuring three drive links and dividing by two (should be 3/8").
• Match gauge (.043") by measuring the drive link width or consulting docs.
• Order this 55-drive-link chain only if all specs align.

What performance can I expect from these replacement chains?

These chains are built for balanced cutting, aiming to deliver consistent tooth engagement and reduced vibration. Materials and tooth geometry are designed to hold an edge longer than dull, worn chains, helping you maintain smoother cuts and more predictable handling during typical yard and light property work.

• Engineered tooth profile for controlled cutting action.
• Designed for reduced vibration to improve user comfort.
• Durable construction to retain sharpness over repeated use.
• Sold in a six-chain pack for extended supply between purchases.

How should I install and maintain these chains for safety and longevity?

Always follow the chainsaw manufacturer’s instructions for installation, tensioning, and maintenance. Proper chain tension, regular sharpening, correct lubrication, and replacing chains when teeth are damaged or excessively worn will extend useful life and help maintain safer operation.

• Install with the cutting teeth facing forward around the bar tip.
• Tension to the manufacturer’s recommended specification—no sagging or over-tightening.
• Use bar and chain oil at all times while cutting.
• Sharpen or replace chains when cutting performance drops or teeth are damaged.

Why buy a 6-pack instead of single replacement chains?

Buying a six-pack reduces the need for frequent reorders and ensures you have spare chains when sharpening or repairs remove a chain from service. It’s practical for contractors, property owners with multiple saws, or anyone who prefers to stock maintenance parts for uninterrupted work.

• Fewer reorders — keep multiple chains available on the shelf.
• Cost-effective for frequent users and crews sharing tools.
• Swap chains quickly to minimize downtime during projects.
• Consistent specification across all chains simplifies maintenance.

Who is this for: This six-pack is suitable for homeowners, landscapers, and small contractors who use a Stihl MS 170 or a compatible saw bar requiring 16" chains with 3/8" low-profile pitch, .043" gauge, and 55 drive links. If you maintain equipment readiness, rotate chains to stay sharp, or manage multiple machines, this bulk pack gives you ready replacements to keep jobs moving.
