Needed a new chainsaw loop. (Oregon H66 or equivalent) This is for a 16 inch bar. Ok, wally world doesnt have it. TSC does but wanted $21.95 plus tax. HUH!!!! Last time I bought a loop of chain for this saw, I gave $8 on sale. That was about 3 years ago. Has chain went up this much. I stopped at Home Depot also. They have their own house brand and no conversion chart or catalog, you just have to know how many links and make a guess based on looks. What I thought was equivalent to H66 was also $22.
There is a small hardware-lumber chain 40 miles the other direction that used to be cheapest around and it custom made loops of Stihl chain. Thats where I got the $8 loop. I'll stop there next time I'm down that way. My notion is that for $22 you should get a loop of chain and a cheap bar thrown in or maybe 3 loops of chain.
