Detailed Descriptions and Illustrations

The descriptions and photographs of the different chain types, and explanations of the letter codings on chains, are the clearest I’ve yet seen, as were the charts for Stihl, Husqvana and Oregon.
I will be referring to this for publication for years to come.
