Piranha Chainsaw Chain - Press Release

[dan494]

They are available on the website if you want one clearly marked as C2SFT chain:

 

1.5mm (.058") Gauge Chains - Northern ARB Supplies

 

However they are not listed on ebay where the same chains are sold at considerably better prices.

 

 

Just about to order some for my 550xp. 2 chains on their website is £23.34 + vat or only £12.79 delivered from eBay. Doesn't make sense to me as costs over double!You'd think they'd charge the same or less on the website to drive traffic there and possibly get additional sales and wouldn't have eBay fees 🤔

I was looking at an 84 link 3/8 058 chain, price on website is £18.53 inc vat & delivery around 22p per link. Ebay price (if they listed that chain) would be closer to 10p per link if prices of other chains are anything to go by.

 

Ignoring chain I already have & prices paid for it I could get a 100' reel of Husqvarna H42 chain from Jonesie for £245.26 & make the loops up myself at a cost of around 15p per link. There is no incentive to buy Piranha chain through the northern arb site at those prices if however they listed suitable loops on ebay (or if they matched ebay prices on the site) then the prices there would mean they are worth buying.

At £6 a chain I think they're worth trying, and they're cheap enough to become throwaway items when they blunt. If it cuts alright I'll try one on a bigger saw

We use one on a Stihl 261 18ins 325,there good chains,little bit grabby when new but after a sharpening or two there fine.

Thanks, I find that with the Oregon ones as well so probably very similar

I was looking at ordering a couple of the Piranha chains for my Husky 550xpg - looking at this eBay photo the depth gauges look very low.... at least they look very low when compared with the OREGON 21LPX profile.

 

Be good to hear any real old chainsaw user reviews....

And here's the OREGON 21LPX....

I'll take some photos on the piranha and Oregon chains together when it arrives

[phirow]

I now use them for hedgelaying and they work just as good as the Oregon multi cut at around £20
