Genuine STIHL 18" Chainsaw Chain 26 RM3 68 - .325" Pitch, .063" Gauge, 68 Drive Links (OEM)

Overview: The genuine STIHL 26 RM3 (Rapid Micro™ 3) is a premium semi-chisel chainsaw chain designed for reliable, everyday use. Built for farmers, landscapers, and homeowners tackling heavy-duty yard work, this chain offers the perfect balance of durability, smooth cutting, and safety. Because it features a semi-chisel cutter, it stays sharper much longer than full-chisel chains when cutting dirty, gritty, or dry wood, making it the ultimate low-maintenance workhorse.

Key Features:

Semi-Chisel Durability: The rounded cutter edges are more forgiving and retain their sharpness significantly longer in tough, abrasive conditions (like cutting firewood dragged through the dirt) compared to full-chisel chains.

Low Kickback Design (Green Label): Engineered with a specialized humped drive link to reduce kickback energy, providing a safer, smoother cutting experience that meets ANSI B175.1 standards.

STIHL OILOMATIC® Technology: Specially designed grooves channel guide bar oil directly to the rivets, reducing friction, preventing premature wear, and keeping your bar and chain cooler during operation.

Smooth & Controlled: Low vibration and reduced chatter make this chain incredibly comfortable to use, minimizing operator fatigue during long firewood-cutting sessions.
