I don't know, I've never used one. I was buying one for me to try out and I got a good deal on two so I figured I'd pass one along here. I plan on putting it on a Husky 55 and see how the saw handles 3/8 chain. My 50cc saws have only ever used .325.
I will say though, the red epoxy I see in the grooves is a little weird. It's 2 layers of steel with a layer of aluminum in the middle all epoxied together and you can see it squished out in the corners.
I use a k095 versacut .325 18 on my cs2149/53 Kevin did for me. Bar is extremely light and seems to be holding up good for a light bar. I will probably use these on any 50cc saw from now on. I like Stihl bars and tsumura on larger saws
If you don’t beat/pry on the tip and flip the bar regularly they last pretty good for the $. I re-squeezed the rails together 3 or 4 times on mine (with my forester bar rail squeezer) and the paints all gone so I’d say I got my money’s worth. It’s no stihl ES or sugihara but that’s to be expected for the $ you pay.
