I ordered this chain thinking it was the correct one. Oregon's own website stated it was the right chain when you plug in Poulan Pro and model number 260. When I went to put it on the bar it obviously was too short. (The package insert also says it fits Poulan model 260)

When I called Oregon they had me read the number on the part of the old chain that fits in the bar.It was 91.Then they had me read the same part of the S56. It also was 91. At that point she had me count the number of links in the chain and it came out to 62. She said you need the S62 (18-inch).

So if you own a Poulan Pro 16 inch chain saw you would assume, if you are an infrequent chain saw user, that you would need the 16 inch replacement chain that fits Poulan. WRONG IN MY CASE. My 16 inch Poulan Pro takes an 18 inch chain and I have now ordered the Oregon S62 which is an 18 inch chain !!

Now I know that no matter what chain saw you have you must count the number of links in the old chain in order to know with certainty the correct chain to buy. Some guys will be giggling reading this, but I thought I would help out some other guys that don't use chainsaws every day and maybe save them some time, frustration, or both.

Bought this chain for my Craftsman 16" chain saw. Installed, works great.
Great value for the price.

I bought a used chainsaw and it needed a new blade.I have a Homelite Ranger.This thing cuts like a champ now.It arrived quickly and the price was right.I love amazon.com!

I had been buying chain replacements for my Craftsman 16" chain saw from Sears for around $25. Even after paying for shipping I still saved about 30% with these chains. Not sure why but the Sears has 57 links (S57) versus the S56 for the Oregon chains.

Too bad I did not read one of the comments that says that this chain, S56 does not fit Poulan 3516F even though it is listed as a fit both on Oregon site and on the box. This chain is at least one link too long for this saw and cannot be tightened.

Can definitely tell the difference between this chain and other models I have tried in the past. This really zips right thru branches up to 8" dia. in no time without hardly any effort. So far the chisel links have proven to be superior. No kickback problems at all. For the price, this is an excellent product. Would definitely recommend.

Fine chain ... cutters on every other link.

I was shocked to find that the Poulan 16-Inch Chain #952051211 I ordered from Amazon on the same day has cutters on every third link.

Blades worked well for me at a fraction of the retail price. I have eradicated many cedar trees with these blades and even the occasional bois d'arc. I really can't think of any complaints for a less than expert chainsaw user.

Bought this chain through Amazon.com, and got great fast service.
This is probably the most popular chain available for electric chain saws. It says it is 'anti-kickback', probably a result of putting fewer teeth on it than the Remington chain, which is no longer available. Don't leave it out in the rain.

Received product in a timely manner, and the saw chain worked perfectly for the job I did.
