Can you get it in .058 Rob ?

 

No it's only in a .063 - Stihl pretty much only make for Stihl

They are missing a trick with this singular gauge size, maybe they will produce different gauges later. I would say this chain would be more widely used in Forestry rather than Arb, where most cutters use Husky’s on a different gauge.

Yep they do other chains in .058 but they tend to be the exception to the rule - I don't think they'll do this in .058 [could be wrong though...]

Start writing to them maybe - as in theory it should be fairly easy to do - the top part of the chain is the same. But maybe they want to keep it for themselves for a bit.
