View attachment 150772 Anyone here used or ever heard the Stihl 36RS3 chain? Got one for testing

Looks like just a different tie strap, but basic chain cutter.

DL has the safety bibbity bump on it

 

[RI Chevy]

I thought the safety roller coaster safety link had the "2" designated last digit on box?

 

[Deets066]

Just like PS chain and PS3

If you look at the chart in post #37, you will see what each of the numbers and letters in the part number means. That is a round ground, full chisel, chain with anti kickback safety features.

Yep.

RM3/RS3 = green labeled "safety" chain.

RM/RS = yellow labeled standard chain.

I have to say, my dad bought a RS3 and it cuts just fine. Dang nice for plunge cutting as you might imagine...

 

[RI Chevy]

I have some safety chain loops that I got in with a saw purchase. It's OK, but I would never buy it. Lol
I'll use it for free though.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

Yea, my dad is 88 and on blood thinners so prob. a good call on the green chain. I'm on a mission to keep him from using a saw period! lol

Good problem to have though...

 

[RI Chevy]

LOL. Just do the saw cutting for him. Have him do the enjoyment thing as an end user. Lol
I know, easier said than done. [emoji106]

That green strap chain works very well on dirty wood, I think the safety bump must help knock some dirt off, I recently bought some once used, never sharpened from guy in TX for 10.00 each 32" and 7.50 for some 20", FEMA used it and doesn't sharpen chain.

It’s same as the RAPID DURO -RD3-chain design wise with the carbide missing so my thought to try it based on that feature

 

[dustinwilt68]

Alot of family members bhere have loads dropped at there house, wood is always dirty and dulls most chains rather quickly, I figured for the cost why not try it.

Same money as RS and RM here in Greece.

They will not sell to me on East Coast for some reason.

Unless I'm mistaken, they'll ship stuff to you, just not stihl parts. I'm sure they have Oregon square chain in stock.

 

[RI Chevy]

Maybe Ryan. I think I only tried to buy the Stihl chains. I buy my Oregon chain at The Cutting Edge GTG.

Oregon or Husky stuff they can sell anywhere, Stihl protects their dealers really well which doesn’t do any good for the customer.
