Husqvarna Chain H38 12″

Part Number: 581807945

The Husqvarna Chain H38 12″ is a high-quality chain designed specifically for small to medium-sized chainsaws, providing a reliable and efficient cutting performance. With a 12-inch length and a 3/8″ Mini pitch, this chain is ideal for compact saws commonly used by homeowners, hobbyists, and professionals like arborists. The chain features a 1.1 mm (0.043”) gauge and comes with 45 drive links, making it compatible with many Husqvarna saws such as the 120i, 136Li, 436Li, 536Li XP, and T536Li XP models.

One of the standout features of the H38 chain is its chamfer-chisel cutter design. This cutter type is known for its smooth, fast cutting and ease of sharpening. The chamfered edges reduce vibration and kickback, enhancing user safety and comfort during operation. The chain’s low-vibration and low-kickback characteristics make it an excellent choice for both electric and small gasoline-powered saws, ensuring a smoother and more controlled cutting experience.

Durability is a key strength of the H38 chain. It is constructed to withstand regular use, delivering consistent cutting performance even under challenging conditions. The chain requires regular maintenance such as sharpening with a 4.5 mm round file and proper lubrication to keep it running efficiently. Routine inspection for wear or damage is also recommended to ensure safety and longevity.

Designed for use on 12″ bars, this chain suits a variety of small saw applications, from pruning and limping to light woodcutting tasks. Its balance of performance, safety, and ease of use makes it a popular choice for both residential and commercial users.
