Will this fit my saw?

Only if your saw takes a 16-inch bar and a 3/8-inch low-profile, .050-inch gauge chain with 56 drive links. Check your old bar and chain markings or the saw's manual before ordering.

Is this chain low-kickback?

Yes. Oregon describes the S56 as a low-kickback, low-vibration chain aimed at homeowners and occasional users.

Can I sharpen it myself?

Yes. The Chamfer Chisel cutters are designed for easy maintenance with a round file of the correct size for 3/8 low-profile chain.

Is it good for professional use?

No. It is a homeowner-grade low-profile setup; daily professional cutting calls for full-size 3/8 or .325 chain and a matching bar.

What comes in the box?

One 16-inch Oregon guide bar and one S56 chain with 56 drive links.

Does it fit Husqvarna and Ryobi saws?

It fits models from those brands that use a 16-inch bar and 56-link 3/8 low-profile chain, but not every model. Confirm the specs on your saw first.

Our take on the Oregon 16" Chainsaw Bar & S56 Chain

This is a 16-inch guide bar paired with an S56 low-profile chain: 3/8-inch pitch, .050-inch gauge, 56 drive links. The Chamfer Chisel cutters are built for durability and easy filing, and the low-kickback design suits homeowners and occasional users. It fits saws from Craftsman, Echo, Poulan, Homelite, Makita, Husqvarna, Ryobi and others that take a 16-inch bar and 56-link 3/8 low-profile chain. Against OEM bars and chains it is a value-oriented replacement that owners rate well for fit and cutting.
