Oregon S52 AdvanceCut Chainsaw Chain for 14-Inch Bar - 52 Drive Links – low-kickback chain fits Dolmar, Ryobi, Echo and more , Grey

I NEVER sharpen my chains. I simply found it easier and TIME-SAVING to R&R with a new chain when they dull or get sap coated. So NEEDLESS TO SAY... I have 'some' experience with this exact 14in Oregon chain.What I will share that MIGHT BE OF VALUE to others is that FOR SOME UNKNOWN, UNDISCLOSED OR WHATEVER POSSIBLE REASON these more-expensive SINGLE CHAIN PKGS...are USA-MADE CHAINS...at least according to pkg labeling and thus we never TRULY know for SURE, do we? I mention this because after only a few purchases buying the so-called Oregon 'MULTI-PACK' version in both TWO-PACK plastic plackaing AND the "oregon' 3-pk version [ that comes in a small box] ALL THE 2, and 3-PK chains ARE ALL MADE IN CHINA. I never paid attn or CARED about that actually, until after my 2nd or 3rd purchase of the multi-pack oregon chinese sets. CUTTING THE SAME LOGS, same day, tmep and condition of log put on a NEW chiense=made chain and IMMEDIALTEY noticed the difference.FACT [ from MY 'EXPERIECNE and MULTIPLE PURCHASES} the more-expesive single pack USA-MADE CHAINS ARE SHARPER OUTA THE PKG and ALSO SEEM TO HOLD AND EDGE AND BITE FAR LONGER UNDER IDENTICAL CONDITIONS and SAME LOG /TREE than do the CHAIiwanese 'Oregon' chains. I'm NOT DISPARAGIN' OR CASTING ASPERSIONS >>> thats JUST A FACT from my direct experience.QUESTION IS: IS this a 'RETAILER " issue or otherwise intentional MISBRANDING and repacking of inferior chains or WHAT? EVERY MULTIPAK of 'OREGON' chains i ever received form AMzn are made in chine. Single packs are USA.SO FOR ME... PAYING THE XTRA FEW $$ PER CHAIN BUYING AS THIS SINGLE PACK IS WORTH IT IN TIME SAVINGS alone sine the USA chAins CUTS FAST AND LASTS LONGER. I have determined that I need 3 of the new outta box chienese chains to equal not quite TWO of usa chains.I WISH THERE WAS AN OPTION or MEANS to click a box FOR BUYING A BULK PKG DEAL of these single-packaged chains [ to get better deal ] BUT STILL RECEIVE THE USA-MADE CHAINS. I MAY decide to have my local STIL /ECHO DLR who also sells Oregon chain in biulk just MAKE ME A DOZEN chains at a time form his MOnster USA-MADE BULK ROLL of chain. HAppy to provide anyone curious my actual photos of my chains/purchases for verification.ONE THIGN I CAN NOT yet ATTEST TO: WILL THE CHINESE MADE CHAINS SHARPEN And perhaps at least HOLD AND EDGE EQUAL TO A RESHARPENED USA-MADE CHAIN... OR WILL THIS PROVE the mulkti-pack chuiense chains BRANDED as Oregon chain USE INFERIOR STEEL with different hardness levels. WIthout ACTUAL and PROPER PROF RIckwell tesing numbers on new Chinese and USA-MADE CHAINS... its a CRAP SHOOT. JUST BUY THE USA_MADE CHAIN OR YOU"ll be wasting MORE TIME in SHARPENING MODE rather than a WORKING_MAN MODE or worse just WASTING MONEY and simply TOSS OUT THE CHINESE CHAINS. ONE AND DONE IS WHAT DO WITH THEM.. and even THEN.. time was wasted repalcing TWO chienese chains for every ONE usa-made oregon chain. SORRY FOR RAMBLING.. jst dont want folks making MY MISTAKE buying the multi-pack andfinding out the hard way and money down drain. FOR INSTRUCTIONAL and FULL CLARITY PURPOSES: I run all these oregon chains on the mini budget model 20v DEwalt chainsaw which i had upgraded from oe factory 12in bar to the 14 OREGON BAR after reading several other people's reviews, advice.and recommendation to do so THX GUYS!not paying attnEVERY while the WILL

Use 1 time so far was very sharpe

After I sharpened the original chain enough times on my 40V Ryobi saw, I bought this as a replacement. I still have yet to sharpen it!Typical Oregon product - good quality and easy on the wallet.

If you're reading this there's not much that hasn't already been said. Oregon has been around forever and the reputation is well earned. Replacement chains here are cheaper and a wider selection than brick and morter big box stores so get ya one or two.

So, I can only compare this to the used chain that came with my used chainsaw I had already. I bought my chainsaw from a dude on FB marketplace for $5. He didn’t know what was wrong with it other than the chain was super loose. I figured for $5 it was worth a gamble. Turns out it was literally just the 2 bolts on the chain guide that needed to be tightened (and some chain oil, but that’s to be expected) I used that chain to cut up several small pieces. It worked, but it was always super slow going. I broke down and bought this replacement chain for $11~ and put it on. On my Poulan electric it was a very simple process. One I installed it and added some more oil, it cut though a downed tree in no time. I highly recommend this chain if you are needing a replacement. I know I could have manually sharpened the chain, but this was a 5 minute fix for a total investment of $16~ to have a nice running chain saw. It was worth the extra $11~ for me. Your mileage may vary.

Used these chains on several tree trimming projects. These were on Craftsman chainsaws. Worked great and sharpened easily.

needed a new chain and this is a great replacement.

The blade work great fit perfect had no problems whatsoever cuts perfectly
