HIPA chain

[Czed]

I bought some of the hipa chain to try out

I bought some but only have a couple tanks on the 84dl full chisel it stretched a little initially but seems to have settled
Cuts good no chatter
Post up if anyone is running it.

Was your 84dl full chisel the Lpx style with the extra bumper. With my hipa 66dl chains it’s lgx style but I just got some 84dl with the extra bumper. Not complaining tho, looks more like lpx than the Green Stihl chain I hate.

Hipa on the left, Lpx on the right.

Just started using a 66dl loop and it’s been fine so far. One tank in, it’s got the usual stretch but holds its edge fine. No regerts.

So far only the 84dl they call standard full chisel is like that
The 18-20 and 28" are traditional style full chisel
They call it ripping chain.

I have a loop of 66dl .325 chisel. Stretched some initially, cuts good. I'm happy with it.

Thanks for the reviews.

I have a loop of 3/8lp 56dl. It looks better than the Oregon I have but I haven't tried it yet.

Anxious to see how these hold up. Almost jumped on the deal.

I bought a loop of .058 semi for my Poulan/346 hybrid. It was better than expected.

I also bought 3 loops of 81dl for 2 24" bars. 3 will give me 2 84dl and a 72dl after spinning them up.

I ran a couple of tanks cutting oak and hickory today
It's smooth cutting chain and has held it's sharpness just fine
I'm happy with it
I bought like a 100 loops of 14/16/18 /20/24/28
Full chisel for 017s through 394s
The 20" full skip may chatter I need to try it in hardwood.

@Normzilla
Try some of this stuff I'm sure chains cost more than 5-6.00 out there
I haven't had a chance to run it much but seems ok so far.

Wow cool looking raker and seems more.spacing between cutter.and tooth

It's been good to me so far but I haven't had time to cut much lately
I do know it's nearly 8 time's cheaper than Stihl chain locally
And I refuse to believe Stihl is 8 time's better than this stuff
Try some see if it works for you.

I'll have to measure it.

Got my order on Tuesday of chains, some of the files, & gloves, however the order wasn't complete or should I say proper. E-mailed them and crickets.
There was suppose to be 12 files and ended up with a 3-pack and a file & guide set. SO shorted by 8 files on this order.
This was my 2nd order and the first one was filled as ordered.

Got some chains today appear to be sharp we will see how they do
