Our take on the STIHL 18 Inch Chain 61 PS3

The STIHL 61PS3 is a genuine OEM replacement chain for 18-inch bars running 3/8-inch low-profile (Picco) pitch and .043-inch gauge with 61 drive links. It uses full chisel Picco Super 3 cutters, which cut fast and clean in hard or frozen wood, and STIHL claims up to 15% longer cutting life than its PM3 chain. The low-kickback, low-vibration design makes it a sensible pick for homeowners and light professional users on small to mid-size saws. It is a narrow-kerf chain, so it suits low-power saws better than high-displacement pro saws that call for .050 or .063 gauge.

Questions and answers

What saws does the STIHL 61PS3 fit?
