Husqvarna 365/372 chain catcher question

[Todd Noel]

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Just finishing off customizing my 365/372 clone saw. I installed an OEM Husqvarna full-wrap bar and matching dual bucking spikes. The saw came with the plastic roller type chain catcher. I installed it along with an OEM aluminum chain catcher that attaches to the boss on the saw where the front anti-vibe spring mounts. Question is, since these mount at two different levels, it it a bad idea to used both? I was hoping it would add an additional measure of safety. Curious what yous guys with more experience think...

So which one works better? The roller on the dogs?
Thanks, Todd

Zero experience; 76 and never had a chain brake anywhere but on the workbench.

Not so much for broken chains, but chains do derail quite often. The catcher prevents them from getting bunched up in the clutch cover or cutting a hole through the gas tank
