Cheap Chains Any Good?

[diver64]

I was on Amazon looking for a ripping chain and noticed a ton of off brand Chinese chains for very good money. Are any of these any good?
$20-$25 for a pack of 3 is tempting to try out.just for kicks

No experience with it myself, but a couple well respected members were vouching for The Duke's saw chain on the other forum

Great stuff if you want to practice hand filing- you will be doing plenty- especially if ripping with them.
Softer- not as hard wearing- tend to fold the cutting edge and rivet holes tend to elongate under load.
Old saying still rings true- generally you get what you pay for.
