3/8hobby is the weakest of the 3.

frame is smaller and cutters are not so many as .325.

This is used for hobby and consumer grade saws and small pro saws.

 

.325 is to prefer if there is a lot of small branches as the cutters are closer than on the 3/8.

This is used for smsll and medium saws.

 

3/8 is a strong chain for the mid range and top range saws.

 

.404 is even stronger for the really big ones...

 

I have a pic of some types...

 

First pic:

From bottom is 1/4, .325, 3/8, Old style 3/8 with big frame, .404 and the others are bigger......

Second pic:

From top: 3/8 and then 3 diffrent 3/8Hobby

no problem;the sprockets are different so they would have to be changed,as the chains are different pitch.I think there are alternative sprocket kids available, will check...thankyou.
