STIHL saw chains

Maximum precision in every link

Choosing the right saw chain is essential for effective use of a chain saw. STIHL supplies the optimum chains for every application, every power class and every chain saw make. All our chains are characterised by rugged first-class quality.

Picco Micro Mini Comfort 3

Low-vibration saw chain by STIHL. For users who value a high level of convenience and reduced kickback tendency along with good cutting performance. This low-profile saw chain for use on lightweight chain saws is for universal use. Ideal for occasional users or for wood carving.

Picco Micro Comfort 3

Low-vibration low-profile saw chain with the high cutting performance of a standard chain combined with reduced kickback tendency. An all-purpose chain for use on light chain saws. Ideal for all users who appreciate power as well as comfort. This saw chain is ideal for harvesting small timber, limbing and maintenance using tree service saws.

Picco Duro

The world's first carbide-tipped, low-profile saw chain. Stays sharp, without resharpening for up to ten times as long as standard saw chains with substantially longer durability, even under extreme loads. Additionally, the Picco Duro is low in vibration and has a low kickback tendency.

Rapid Micro Special

Low-vibration comfort saw chain with very good cutting performance. Due to the shortened top plate there is no need to push down when plunge cutting. Achieves perceptibly better plunge-cutting speed than the conventional 1/4" chain. Particularly suitable for arborists and wood carvers (in conjunction with carving guide bars).

Rapid Micro

Rapid-Micro

Semi-chisel chain. For universal use. Excellent control and high cutting performance. Relatively easy to sharpen. Uses include felling, bucking, limbing and all sawing work in agriculture, construction and forestry.

Rapid Micro Comfort

Comfort version of the STIHL Rapid Micro universal saw chain with low vibrations, smooth cutting behaviour and low tendency to chatter. This is achieved by means of a bevel on the bottom of the cutter, as on the STIHL Rapid Super Comfort and Rapid Super Comfort 3 saw chains.

Rapid Micro Comfort 3

Comfort version of the STIHL Rapid Micro universal saw chain with low vibrations, smooth cutting behaviour, low tendency to chatter and reduced kickback. This is achieved by means of a bevel on the bottom of the cutter, as on the STIHL Rapid Super Comfort and Rapid Super Comfort 3 saw chains.

Rapid Super

High-performance chain for professional forestry. Uses include felling, bucking, limbing in medium to heavy stands with mid- to high-powered machinery.

Rapid Super Comfort

Very low vibration high-performance saw chain for professional use in felling and harvesting timber. Good positioning, very smooth cutting and low tendency to chatter. Cutting performance and use is similar to Rapid Super or Rapid Micro. The special design with a bevelled cutter heel ensures that less vibration is transmitted to the guide bar and the operator.

Rapid Super Comfort 3

This saw chain was also designed for professional use. The cutter is the same as on the Rapid Super Comfort. As well as reduced vibration and a lower tendency to kick back, it is also characterised by even greater ease of use, thanks to the humped drive link. This drive link produces very smooth, comfortable cutting behaviour.

Rapid Duro

A special carbide-tipped saw chain that remains sharp for a very long time in frequent use and, above all, in extreme conditions (such as when cutting dirty or frozen wood and in demolition work).

Rapid Duro R

Special chain for use on STIHL rescue saws. The cutters are reinforced throughout with impact-resistant carbide for perceptibly longer service life. Large-area brazing of carbide tipping to top plate increases strength. A 3-humped tie strap is fitted on the opposite side of the chain in front of each cutter to guide the cutter smoothly and gently into the cut, thus reducing the risk of cutter damage.
