Payment sent for one each of all five. My data is in our conversation.

Thanks!

...and I really like the way that so far everyone wants a multiple of five. . . .it is easier for me to work in full sets

(sometimes I think that some guys on this site aren't working with a full set . . . )

Thank you very much for helping fellow A.S. members out!

FYI - I received a reply from a representative of STIHL in Europe that these depth gauge tools have been available there since 2016.
Guess it takes some chainsaw nerds to get the word out?

Did you ask why they are not available here?

No.

STIHL moves in mysterious ways!

I don't understand their marketing strategies sometimes, but the Stihl family is a lot richer than me!

I have heard speculation that these might confuse customers trained to use their standard roll sharpening kit or 2-in-1 products (?).

I have heard speculation that their chains were tested for ANSI kickback ratings using the fixed offset method, and progressive guides might open up some liability exposure somehow (?).

But these are all speculations. They don't explain flippy caps. Or why .325 chains come OEM in .063 gauge and 3/8 chains come OEM in .050 gauge. Or why they won't sell heated handle saws available in Canada in the northern US states. Etc.

[HarleyT]

Don't want to confuse the North Americans, eh??

Well sounds like the perfect excuse for you boys to flip stihl the bird and restart the McCulloch plant and build real saws again

I’d could get behind this...

 

[Philbert]

I think that Husqvarna owns the McCulloch brand name?

I am pretty happy with current saws and chains. Just don't always understand their marketing choices.

Call it MCC or something haha. Goes with the make America great again theme.
