    Received a chain question from @hammerdown184 • 13 minutes ago Just wondering why low kick back chains don't work well on full size saws? They're definitely lower performance then a traditional chain in all applications but I find on my climber they work decently on 70 cc or above saws they seem to not work very well even when the chain is razor sharp.
