Will this chain fit my 12-inch saw?

Only if your bar is 12 inches and the chain takes 45 links at the same pitch and gauge. Check the old chain or the saw's manual for the drive link count and pitch before ordering.

Is the S45 a low-kickback chain?

Yes. Oregon lists it as low-kickback and says it meets the kickback performance requirement of ANSI B175.1-2012.

What size saw is it made for?

Oregon rates it for saws up to 42 cc. Larger saws need a heavier chain.

Does it fit Husqvarna and Poulan saws?

Oregon lists Remington, Craftsman, Husqvarna and Poulan as compatible brands, but fit depends on the specific model's bar and drive sprocket. Confirm the link count and pitch for your model.

How do I know when to replace the chain?

Replace it when cutters are worn short, the chain needs constant tightening, or cuts curve and burn. A sharp spare chain keeps the saw working.

When is the best time to buy?

Chains are consumables and prices move little, so buy when you need one. Compare the live price across stores before ordering.

Our take on the Oregon 12-Inch Replacement Chainsaw Chain

The Oregon S45 is a 12-inch, 45-link replacement chain from Oregon's AdvanceCut line, built for small gas and electric saws up to 42 cc. It uses a low-kickback cutter design and a chrome outer layer with hardened rivets for longer wear. It fits many Remington, Craftsman, Husqvarna and Poulan 12-inch saws, but you must match bar length, link count and pitch before buying. No current store price was provided, so check the live comparison for today's best offer.
