Overview

Experience a KAKEI chainsaw chain designed to complement 18-inch STIHL-compatible saws with a .325 inch pitch and .050 inch gauge. This 3-pack delivers 68 drive links per chain and features a full chisel cutter profile, built for precise, efficient cutting through seasoned wood and fresh timber alike. By combining robust materials with careful manufacturing, KAKEI emphasizes durability and consistent performance across each link while maintaining compatibility with common Stihl models mentioned in the specs.

Quality you can feel when you cut

Key design elements are chosen to support steady performance under real-world use. German steel with a controlled heating process and a dedicated punching system contribute to improved toughness and flatness across the chain. All rivets are hardened and quenched, helping resist wear and reducing tension fluctuations as you work. The cutters benefit from Japanese chrome-plating technology, which enhances durability and helps resist corrosion over time. Each chain is sharpened and cold-headed using rotary equipment, resulting in a sharper edge for better initial bite.

Compatibility and fit

This chain is intended for chainsaw bars that match the following parameters: 18 inches in length, .325 inch pitch, and .050 inch gauge, with 68 drive links per chain. It is compatible with Stihl models such as MS250, MS251, 3005 008 7017, and related bars produced after 2023. To ensure the right match, examine your bar side stamp and owner's manual to confirm pitch, gauge, length, and drive link count. If you need help, KAKEI Customer Support is available to assist with sizing questions across the 60+ available chain sizes.

Performance and safety notes

Users may notice a confident bite thanks to the full chisel geometry, which is intended to deliver fast cutting action on various wood types. The packaging and product notes emphasize safety; the package may present kickback risks, so experience and proper training are advised before use. Always follow bar and chain manufacturer guidelines, maintain proper tension, and keep the bar well-lubricated to extend life and maintain control during cutting.

Tips for best results

• Verify bar length, pitch, gauge, and drive link count before purchasing.
• Inspect chain tension regularly to maintain steady cutting performance.
• Apply the recommended oil to reduce wear and corrosion on the chain.
• Choose proper safety gear and operating procedures to manage kickback risks.
