Oregon Round Chainsaw Files, 12 x 5.5mm (7/32"), Chain Sharpening Tools, Manual Chainsaw Sharpener, Double Cut Blade Files, Premium Quality Sharpener File Pack (Green)

If you are planning to use a chainsaw regularly files are an essential bit of kit to keep the chains sharp and useable.I got these for use with my stihl ms180. These are 5/32 of an inch or 4mm. The box contains 12 files.These are good quality files. There's no flex when in use. The teeth are also cut in a spiral to make cleaning and clearing material away much easier. The end is also triangular so you can easy grip it by hand and stash a few in your pockets or tool pouch without being bulky.Performance wise they work a treat and had a dull chain ready to go in 20mins. I also used one while in the middle of a job. A quick 5 minute touch up and we were flying through logs again. Once you learn how to sharpen a chain using these they are a life saver, and will also save you a fortune in replacement chains.Good quality and value. Recommended. Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it useful

What can I say? They’re great files, cut well into the cutters on my chains, and are very reasonably priced on Amazon.I have drawers full of these things and I love them.Note you will need to buy a corresponding wooden handle it you don’t already own one, unless you’ve got hands like sandpaper and a grip like a vice.Oh and they do them in all the chain sizes, so you can impress your neighbours by sharpening the chains on their wimpy electric chainsaws.

These are a good quality file. They cut clean and profile teeth with just a few strokes.

I have just used the first file from the batch I bought, to sharpen the chain on my old 14 inch McCulloch chainsaw. I sharpened freehand, a I don’t find the various guides - even the Oregon one - very effective.Wow, these files are a joy to use. They allow me to file the teeth to the optimum ‘kitty claw’ pointed finish, with only about five passes per tooth - more on a damaged tooth of course.Be aware that the files are soft and bend easily, but used with care they do a terrific job. Remember to use a narrow flat file to file down your rakers now and again, and you won’t be ‘disappointed’…

Oregon quality as expected..no nonsense at a great price.

Good

Nice files
