Stens chain

[dahmer]

Anybody with firsthand experience with Stens chains. Happened to see a listing for their chains, 72lgx072 comparable, for like $11 each shipped. I like saving money but not wasting it on a subpar product. Thanks.

My friend runs stens chain. I’m pretty sure it’s Carleton chain rebranded. He only used semi chisel and loves is. For the price and sharpening with a grinder, he’s happy.

I just bought some Carlton on ebay $45 for 4 loops. Shows up looking like lgx with no Oregon markings.

Haven't used it yet.

Next one is some lgx for reference and this bottom one is Carlton that they were advertising it as.

I’ve had better luck with Archer than TriLink. Just my opinion.

I got some "Stens Silver Streak" loops of 3/8 LP for my tree saw (52 DL) for $7.86 each on Amazon...not sure why they were so cheap (they're now back up to about $13 each). I like them a lot. Real sharp right out of the bag and seem to hold up so far...
