KAKEI 14 and 16 inch chainsaw chains

13 chains on this rack

The most crowded rack in the shop, because 14 and 16 inches is where most homeowner saws live. Three pitches and three gauges share these bar lengths, and the drive-link count runs from 50 to 67.

Same bar, different loop

Two 16-inch bars can need 55, 56 or 57 links depending on the saw's sprocket and the bar nose. A Stihl MS 211 takes 55 on .050", an Echo CS-400 takes 57, a Craftsman or Poulan usually 56. Count the links on your old chain, or read them off the bar stamp, and match that number exactly.

When .325" shows up

Mid-size gas saws such as the Husqvarna 435 and Stihl MS 261 step up to .325" pitch, which is a bigger chain on the same bar length. Those loops sit on this rack too, in .043" LP, .050" and .063" gauges.
