How to determine chain length

Most people ask how do I determine the length of my chain? The length of your chainsaw isn't determined in inches or centimeters but rather by drive link count. Simply put, chain Length equals drive link count.

Most dealers of chainsaws will ask you what your drive link count is. They simply want to know how many drive links there are. Which determines the length of your chain. This is very important for replacing your chain. If the chain you are replacing does not match the one you are replacing it with it can cause serious injury to you and your chainsaw.

If you will mark the place were you have begun counting your drive links this will better help you avoid counting a drive link more than once. You can mark the chain with chain with chalk or whiteout. You will need to count each drive link.

You can also check out our video on chain length for more information.
