Stihl 33RS Chainsaw Chain, 20-Inch Bar, 3/8-Inch Pitch, .050-Inch Gauge
Stihl 33RS is a full-chisel chainsaw chain listed for a 20-inch bar, with a 3/8-inch pitch and .050-inch gauge. Its fit depends on matching the bar specifications and required drive-link count, so verify both before ordering.
At a glance
- The listing identifies a full-chisel chain and specifies a 20-inch bar, 3/8 pitch and .050 gauge.
- A drive-link count is provided, but it differs from the 72 in the model wording. Verify the required chain against your bar before purchase.
- Customer feedback reports positive impressions of quality, value and fit, though these are customer perceptions rather than compatibility confirmation.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing’s model/title wording includes “72,” while its drive-link-count detail says 45. It also gives pitch as “3 tpi” in the technical details but lists “3/8 Pitch” in the title and features. These details are inconsistent, so confirm the correct pitch and drive-link count for your bar before ordering.
