Oregon Chainsaw Chain for 16" Bar, 3/8" LP, .043" Gauge, 56 Drive

The Oregon 16-Inch Chainsaw Chain is a replacement chain made for homeowners and property caretakers who need a reliable cut on smaller chainsaws. It is engineered specifically for saws running a 16-inch (40cm) bar with a 3/8-inch low-profile pitch, a .043-inch (1.1 mm) gauge, and a 56 drive link count. If you use a compatible gas model up to 42cc or a modern battery-powered saw, this chain serves as a direct-fit replacement.

A key focus of this chain is manageable cutting control. It features a bumper drive link paired with a specialized depth gauge design, which helps reduce kickback while keeping up strong cutting performance. The chain is designed and engineered in the USA by Oregon, bringing decades of manufacturing heritage to your yard work routine.

Compatibility is broad across popular electric and cordless platforms, fitting specific models from Makita, Ego, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Greenworks, Harbor Freight Atlas, and Toro. However, chainsaw sizing is strict: you must verify that your guide bar uses a 3/8-inch low-profile pitch and a .043-inch slot. It will not work on saws larger than 42cc or bars requiring a different drive link count or thicker gauge.

Verdict: This Oregon saw chain is an excellent choice for owners of compatible 16-inch cordless and small gas saws who want dependable cutting with reduced kickback. Double-check your tool manual to ensure the pitch, gauge, and drive link count match before buying.
