We sell both Oregon and Windsor - there really is no difference between the two.

owned by oregon for the last couple of years or so...

 

bars are pretty good, on par with oregon i'd say.

 

chain used to be ok, but may well be cheap chinese junk these days (like current GB chain) not sure tho...

 

 

 

edit: if clarke's say the chain is still good, then its good:thumbup1:

Bought 2 18'' for my 372.Nothing in it i'd say.The rails seem to last quite well and they have replaceable nose anyway.

Oregon bought Windsor about 5 years ago. Windsor is the old Sandvik company and until last year their chain was made in Tennesse, factory now closed down. Think the Windsor chain is now manufactured in the North American Oregon factory.

It's like anything, given a choice: some prefer Oregon, some prefer Windsor....

 

(did I mention that our company is Windsor's distributor in the UK? )
