Basic chains- great value for money. Use them all the time and recommend them to all. However...

 

3/8 picco full chisel- total waste of time and effort. Moronic. Have they no understanding of the principle of a picco chain? Putting full size cutters on a 1.3mm chain negates the point of running a picco chain. Same thing to a point with 1.1mm picco chain- might as well run 1.3mm if you have 1.3mm size cutter on it.

 

Bio chain oil- I think I'd be better off with water, honestly. I'm about to pour the last three cans on the fire and refill with normal stuff from Rye Oils.

Nah, I like their main product, I just wish they employed someone who actually knew one end of a saw from the other.

Archer? Tried a few loops of theirs and never managed to sharpen them before they snapped. I wrote them off as junk. Let me know if this isnt your experience
