STIHL Rapid Hexa 3 (RH3) saw chain, 3/8", 1.6 mm, 63 cm

If you fell or buck hardwood and want faster cuts with less effort, this chain is built for you. The STIHL Rapid Hexa 3 delivers serious bite thanks to its narrow kerf and full-chisel cutters, while staying sharp longer so you can keep working without constant touch-ups.

Powered by STIHL’s exclusive HEXA system, the cutter shape and HEXA file make sharpening fast and precise. Even occasional users can hit an almost perfect angle, extending chain life and keeping performance high.

Where it shines
