Alright just wondering how u all cope with managing and storing spare chains either in vans or tool boxes lunch bags etc.

 

In the past I only really done commercial forestry so usually only had 2 saws big and med both running 3/8s, althou have to admit 1 Stihl q husky so did have different guages. 

But u could always tell them apart by the numbers.

Why the hell do Stihl and husky not run on the same sized chain?????

 

Now I have a complete mix of saws from different makers running all sorts off chains from 3/8pico, 325 and 3/8s. And bars f all different sizes

 

I always used to carry a spare bar and chain in my piece bag, had a tidy up the other day was like a lucky dip of chains of all shapes and sizes.

 

In the shed they all hang on nails with size/saw etc written above

In the past tried those take away curry boxes but break to easy.

 

How do others cope a keep chains ingood nick loose and indefinable

Cheers

i have clear plastic boxes with the information of the chains gauge and length written on a sticker.  It's a really straight forward system.  I have lots of boxes as i carry spares for several sized saws from tiny climbing saws up to large cross cutting saws.  It makes a stock take easy to do too.  When i put the chains into a box i spray over them with WD40 to prevent any rust forming.

These are excellent I find

WWW.NITON999.CO.UK

We supply police & security equipment and tactical gear in the UK for individuals and law enforcement bodies for more than...

If you're not familiar go for the narrow ones.  Their entire length is threaded.  I write the chain details on the white lid in permanent marker.
