Round + Flat File Recommendations

[Maplegeddon213]

Just wondering if anyone has a file brand that is better value than the stihl files I get from the dealership. My old shop used to buy them in bulk but I forgot the brand and I'm tired of spending so much on the little 3 packs stihl sells. Worried about it being significantly crappier metal though as a nice fast file that doesn't dull in one chain is ideal.

And I prefer the Classic over the Premium. Premium are a finer grain, so you should be able to get a sharper chain with them...but Classic works faster. I tried both on separate saws, then used them and swapped which file on which saw, etc... and decided the Classic is my choice.

I like Save Edge files.

I like Save Edge files.

I honestly didn't know they had chainsaw files too. I do like their flat files.

looks like the save edge round files are discontinued?

Google searches can often scare up some product for awhile after newly discontinued.

If anyone wants these in the next two days I would recommend not bidding on them. Use "bid robot " to put in up to your max bid in the last seconds of an auction.

If you want to take metal off in a hurry, husqvarna intensive cut
