Great chain ... went thru 12" tree trunks like butter!
Used this on my Greenworks 16" electric chainsaw today for the first time. It went thru several felled trees like butter. I was probably particularly impressed because it replaced a very worn chain but, regardless, it worked great. I'm buying a second chain now to make sure I have a spare. Great quality and fit my saw perfectly (one of the saws listed for this chain). NO MORE WORN CHAINS for me!!

Perfect for my Milwaukee M18 Chainsaw
Perfect for my Milwaukee M18 Chainsaw. Easy to follow directional arrows and lasts a while. Just make sure it doesn’t run dry as it will prematurely wear out - keep that oil tank on the chainsaw filled up.

Great value
The replacement chain was a perfect fit and cuts through branches like butter. I was able to install it in seconds and get back to cutting within a minute. It is super easy to use and lasts a lot longer than the original chain that came with the chainsaw. Great value!

I was torn between buying a no-name 3-for-$25 package or this one for $35. I had the 3-for-$25 deal already in my shopping basket as that's what I'd normally get, but had that one customer review in my head that said the Oregon chain saved them 50% of time. So I changed my mind and ordered the Oregon chain. It arrived quickly and I tried it out just then. It took me about 15 minutes to cut timber that would normally take me hours. I couldn't believe it. I'm not sure how long it will last but if I have to order another one next week, I gladly will. It's a simple as that. I have it on a Dewalt battery powered saw and I can't wait for the battery to recharge so I can go out and cut some more timber! If you're torn between getting the cheaper ones or the Oregon chain, please do yourself a favour...

Oregon R56 AdvanceCut Chainsaw Chain is the best we have found .Cuts like a knife thru butter. Don't wast your time or money with cheap chinese copies. Made in the USA tells you everything. This chain can deliver up to 250 clean fast cuts

Tried sharpening tool via Dremel and gave up! Ordered R56 chain and slice through like hot butter. Will order more as it is not really economical to re-sharpen. Good pricing. Any higher pricing, may need to go back to re-sharpening the chain (hint).

good quality item fit perfectly good sharp. I’ll run it now and see how long it holds an edge but from the looks of it, it looks like it should. do a good job I would buy this again
