Duke's saw chain

[bradb123]

I buy rolls of chain. I tested 1 of the Duke’s chains before committing to buying a roll. Maybe you have disposable income, but I sure ain’t going to buy 100 ft of chain to “try it”.

Andy, I'll send you another 84dl loop to try out.

Hey guys here’s a thought, if you truly believe Stihl chain is superior then buy Stihl chain, pay their absurd price for it and shut up about it. No need to try and justify its price compared to others by saying how much better it is when others don’t care for it!

Andy, I'll send you another 84dl loop to try out.

I’m happy to test it again and see if my experience improves. Thanks, Brad!

Judging by what you have said, what others have said, and my own personal professional experience with the chain, I’m inclined to think you may have gotten a “bad batch”. Not all that surprising with Chinese manufacturing and quality control.

I’ve found the dukes chains I have here to be somewhere between Oregon and Sthil quality. Not quite as durable as Stihl RS but close. Is it old school rsk nah but that’s pretty much the pinnacle. Definitely better quality than the stuff I’ve used from Oregon in the past. Quite frankly I stopped using Oregon because it has become soft garbage.

@Duke Thieroff

Is there any kind of batch numbering associated with the chains you sell? It's a Longshot, but worth asking.

 

[Duke Thieroff]

Entirely possible. If it holds up better than Oregon for others, then it should for me, and that certainly wasn’t my experience. As stated in one of my previous posts, I’m willing to try another loop sometime.

Message me on the side and I'll send you some. I see your user name here, but I'm not 100% how that correlates to your real name that we shipped to .

No more update of of right now I was hoping to finish these three blow downs but I guess I over did it my back is not liking life right now so I guess I'm not as young as I thought I was lol but hopefully I can get back to it this weekend and give some more feedback on the chain but I'm still very pleased with the Duke's chain. Thanks Duke I do plan on ordering more from you hopefully you have it in a 28" plus bar.

Hey Duke. What's the ETA for more of the blue label chain in 84 dl? Thanks, Steve
