I have been using a Rs chain on thr 2171 I cut six cords of wood and never sharpened it. I just sharpened it. I had a hard time fileing through sthils grinding marks. the file catches on the back side of the rakers. Sthil seems to give you longer cutters. So far I am happy with Sthils Chain.SawTroll said::biggrinbounce2: I also just yhought of that, but he may be better off with RS/RSC anyway, so I didn't post it.....

Oh for gawd's sake, they said "safeTY" chain, not "SAFE" chain. Their special design elements are intended to reduce kickback which are, indeed, safety measures - thus the term "safety" does apply.
NOTHING labelled "safety" makes any implications that the use of such guarentees safety, just improved safety. Why have crumple zones, airbags, laminated windshields etc. if SAFETY belts made automobile occupants safe? Answer, they DON'T! Safety belts, like "safety chains" improve safety by reducing occurances or severity of injury, not eliminating altogether.
Safety steel toes? I still keep my feet from under heavy stuff, anyway
Safety glasses? I don't place my face in the spark stream of a grinder or any other area of airborne particles.
No one on this site, to my kowledge, EVER implied that "green" chains were safe. If they ever do, feel free to blast 'em and you'll have a LOT of guys give you a hand, but as long as they put a "ty" on the end, jeeze Louise lighten up...
I do, however applaud your steadfast reminders to be careful - we can't say or hear that enough. Blink of an eye, lose an eye - green chain or not.
Werd.

LOL...at $2.50 a gal (for diesel) I can't justify a trip unless I buy in bulk...which I prefer to call a REASON - not an excuse!
Fortunately the Stihl shop is only a mile away...and on the way to the gun shop...I mean lunch...:hmm3grin2orange:

:jawdrop: lol, Ultra!
lol, Ultra!No, the point was pretty clear:
"Kick back reducing chain.... is a more proper term than "safety chain", as no saw chain is really safe."
I got it and fully agree. I just don't agree that the term "safety" is misapplied as you purport.

That's OK, but my main point was describing the different types, and that it isn't as simple as "Yellow" vs "Green" chain.....

Ain't big city life great!
I actually live just outside of Shilo, Ga... we have a flowershop and a volunteer fire station...and a church w/ cemetary.
Since we have no post office my mailing address is over in Hahira where they have a 2 traffic lights (in the same intersection of course) and a few shops and such.
DOT is about to change the exit ramps and Hahira is going to lose thier truck stop, motel, and a gas station - 60% of thier tax base...:angry2:
