Chainsaw Repair

About 300 dl total give or take.

I think you could do better than that.  You can fit 137 links in a regular stihl chain box.  If you take your time and fold the chains I bet you can get around 500 in a small flat rate.  That would be a heavy SOB when you get it packed.

I just got 6- 3/8 64dl (384dl) in a flat rate box.  There was enough room for another.  I'm interested in some round to sq. conversions just can't do it right now.

I have about 4 chains in .325 that I converted to square and use on two of my Poulan 335.   I really like them.

I'll bet!!!!

Liked this on 'another forum', so I might as well like it and follow along here.

I just mailed (5) 70-72 DL chains (3/8", .050) in a small flat rate box - weighed in a just under 4 pounds.  Some chains 'fold' tighter than others, depending on cutter shape and size.  I know that it would not apply to most square ground chains, but chains with the low-kickback bumpers take up more space (another reason to hate them?).

A few years back an on-line friend mailed me 33 pounds of used chains in a large flat rate box.  The mailman actually stopped to congratulate me - he wasn't upset; a younger guy, thought it was cool that someone was 'really getting their money's worth!'
