Chain Pitch and Gauge Identification

[Philbert]

Not a problem if you run just one chain, or one brand of chain, on one or two saws.

But if you deal with different brands, with different identification codes; and different chain sizes; or work wih other people’s chains; these help to sort chains out quickly.





The Oregon and Husqvarna versions are clearly similar. The Granberg covers some ‘vintage’ pitches. The STIHL is the hardest to lose.





Very handy. I keep a couple on a nail near where I sort and store chains, and another where I grind.

A couple of bucks each, up to $10, depending on which one, and where you buy it from.

I have multiple brands and sizes and these are very helpful!

I picked up a Gradberg one of these a few weeks back for $3. It's a useful little thing to have around
