Sarp Chainsaw Chain.

Hiya,

 

Has anyone tried or got any comments on "Sarp" chainsaw chains?

 

 

Regards,

they are average quality, made by oregon, as are most things.

I think most of the guys on this site will go for Stihl, Husky or Oregon chains, I think Oregon make the chains for Husky anyway.

 

Only time I would deviate is if I was cutting dirty wood or old pallets for kindling wood and haven't got a well used chain to fit.

 

Most people have the opinion that the cost saving will dissapear when you have to stop and sharpen more often and they will stretch more- Stihl chains are pre stretched at manufacture.....and the new ones still stretch:001_rolleyes:

Sarp chains are the hardest to decipher and get the correct one for your saw, you need the sarp book and the chain box and the ability to cross reference.

I bought 3 reals in different sizes which I used and sold to mates I thought it was good and everyone else who used it kept coming back for more. Think I paid about £150 a real 5 years ago.

Mixed opinions then! Just thought I would ask as there is a dealer near me that sells them and they are half the price of a stihl chain!

As an update on this, my pal and I both got a new chain off our local chainsaw guy and fitted them the same day - both were Sarp. We are felling softwood and immediately I thought the chain was nowhere near as good as when I have had new Oregon or Stihl chains. When we met to refuel, my mate commented how he thought the blunt Stihl chain he took off was better than the new Sarp he had just put on.

 

Needless to say I have just ordered some new Oregon chains online which will be delivered to the door for the same price.

That concludes it then! lol!

Rather have a Sarp chain than a Bunt one though
