How to Make, Break and Repair Chainsaw Chains

You're likely here because you bought yourself a box of bulk chain, or you're about to, and you want to make yourself a bunch of extra chains, maybe even in a couple different bar sizes, but you have no idea what to do next. Well, wonder no more. In this Mechanic Secrets video, we bring you step by step instructions for making and breaking chainsaw chains. From a bulk spool of chain, counting links, punching rivets out to separate chain and spinning new rivets to complete a replacement chain for a Stihl MS290. Although demonstrated on Stihl brand chain and chainsaw, the knowledge transfers to any brand, including Echo, Husqvarna, Craftsman, Worx, Rigid, Black & Decker, Poulan, Remington, Ryobi, Makita, Oregon and Homelite chainsaws. We're happy to answer questions below and good luck making a new chain for your chainsaw!
