I haven't used their skip chains,but have used their full chisel regular chains & bars & found that they're pretty good,even though I was told they're on the "cheap end".Technically anything over 20 in.is classed as "professional" (that's why if a person goes to rent a saw for the day the biggest bar they're going to put on the saw is 20 in.regardless of how big the powerhead is).I've used the 24 in.chains extensively & have had no problems with them at all.I'd have to say that the skip tooth chains must be of equal quality.I'd assume that since they're cheaper than Oregon or Stihl chains that they're most liokely made in China like the Archer products are.

I have 1 forester bar and I think it is a great bar. .404 .063 It is 28 inch overall length.

Several people have posted on using a large Husqvarna mount D009 for the Homelite D096 mount, with some filling and a pick , so few factory bars, and high prices with D096 ,D009 works great a big money saver and size options .Thank you Fossil , for post and threads on this . This SXL-925 sends more than enough oil for this 32" x .050 x 3/8" bar I have.
