That is 1 3/8 full chisel for a 28” bar
Can get 3 18” in the same package
They come from Dillons with mashed potatoes or Mac and cheese.
She washes them out and send sharpen chains in them.

. . . anyone have a good durable alternative to the boxes the chains come in?

We ran a thread on AS about chain storage, and heavy duty / 'freezer' zip lock bags seemed to win.

For 1-chain-per-box look for old VHS cassette cases.

I think the local antique store closed lol. I haven’t seen a vhs in a long time. But think the freezer sandwich bags might work.

Yes the way you packaged your chains work great but......
The IDOTS (idiots) I sharpen for can’t open a zip lock freezer bag !!!!!!!

If you drink crown royal those bags work really well plus you can tie them to your jugs.

"Looks" great, "see" what I did there lol.
Nice setup for sure.
Was it you that also had that PVC that went under the grinder so you could do long chains.

I like that, very simple, but effective!
I'm a big fan of the flatter sharpies with the "chisel tip" too. I like to mark a couple starting teeth, also I will mark on top of the cutting edge(just the very front of the tooth) on any that I'm not fully hitting and will hand file those or adjust the stop a little farther and hit them with the grinder when I finish going around the chain the last time. Doing that saves me from grinding to the worse teeth on a chain, they will catch up after a few more sharpening most times and be the same length.

Pretty inexpensive.

But if you are really frugal, I noticed that my dog's pet treats, etc. come in really heavy gauge, zip lock pouches, about the right size. Almost un-tearable. Some people foods too.

If you mark the outside, or remember that 'snausages' = .325, 'Milk Bone' = 3/8, etc. it can be a good way to go!
