Will the Archer chain fit my DeWalt DCCS620?

No. The DCCS620 takes .050 gauge 3/8 low-profile chain, and the Archer is .043 gauge. Use the NEO-TEC or another .050 gauge 45-link loop.

Which is cheaper per chain?

The NEO-TEC. It is $17.98 for three chains at Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, about $6 each, against $13.99 for one Archer chain at eBay the same date.

Can I swap one for the other?

Only if your bar's gauge matches. Gauge (.043 vs .050) and drive links (45 on both) must both fit the bar; a wrong gauge chain will not seat in the groove.

Neither is a long-life chain. Both are standard low-cost loops; the NEO-TEC's chrome outer layer and low-kickback design are its stated durability features, and the Archer's semi chisel cutters resist dulling in clean wood. Keep both properly tensioned and oiled.

Is the NEO-TEC worth the extra $4?

Yes if you need .050 gauge, since you get three chains instead of one. If your bar is .043, the Archer is the only fit and the price gap does not matter.
