I recently picked up the Oregon 11H057E Harvester Saw Chains from American Forestry, and let me tell you — these chains are sharper than my mother in laws tongue.
From the moment I slapped this chain on my saw, I knew I was in for a wild ride. First cut? Smooth as butter. Second cut? I started feeling like Paul Bunyan — if Paul Bunyan had a degree in precision forestry. By the third cut, I half-expected the trees to start falling over on their own out of sheer respect.
Durability? This chain laughs in the face of knots and tough wood. I’ve put it through enough abuse to make a lumberjack weep, and it’s still sharp enough to shave with (though I wouldn’t recommend that — unless you’re looking for an extreme makeover).
And the speed? Let’s just say I’ve spent more time tying my boots than cutting through logs with this chain. It bites into wood like a beaver on meth.
Big shoutout to American Forestry for the quick shipping and solid packaging — the chain arrived like a VIP guest, neatly coiled and ready to work.
If you’re on the fence about this chain, hop off and buy it. You’ll be cutting so fast and clean, you’ll start looking for excuses to trim things.
