Stihl PMM3 55 Chainsaw Chain, 16in, 3/8 pitch, .043 gauge - 3610 005 0055

The Stihl 61PMM3 55 chain is a chainsaw chain designed for use with corded electric, battery, and gasoline-powered chainsaws or pole pruners. This chain is part of the Stihl Picco Micro Mini 3 series, known for its low-kickback, narrow kerf, and low-profile design. It is ideal for smaller chainsaws and is particularly suited for cutting small branches and general cleanup and maintenance around the home. Professionals requiring plunge-cutting also benefit from this chain.

The chain features lightweight cutters that allow more power to be available for cutting, making it very smooth-cutting. It is a semi-chisel chain that does not usually get dull as fast as full-chisel chains in normal use and is slightly easier to maintain and sharpen.
