The Best Chainsaw Chains for DIY Homeowners

The small rounded cutters on the Stihl Oilomatic Rapid Micro Chainsaw Chain are designed to safely make smooth, accurate cuts. The chain meets ANSI low-kickback standards, and it features Stihl’s patented Oilomatic lubrication system that includes channels in the drive links that distribute the oil evenly across the length of the chain. The Oilomatic also features tiny reservoirs located next to the channels that fill up with oil and then release it slowly via the centrifugal force that’s generated when the chain is spinning.

The Stihl chain features a .325-inch pitch, a .063 gauge, and it comes with 81 drive links. The chain is specifically manufactured to fit 20-inch Stihl chainsaws, but it will fit similar 20-inch saws of other brands.
