Best Tallox Chainsaw Chain

Updated: 15 October 2026

You have the bar length from the stamp, a blunt loop to replace, and tallox three-packs on amazon.co.uk sitting close together on stars. The best tallox chainsaw chain in this set is the loop whose pitch, gauge, and drive-link count match that bar, and whose review sample you can actually read. Two listings both show 4.6 at different gauges, so the star line cannot choose the row. This page uses the nine amazon.co.uk listings in our [tallox chainsaw chain comparison](/hub/forestry-tools/tallox-chainsaw-chain). We did not run a lab cut.

No single best chain in these nine

These nine listings do not share one pitch, gauge, and drive-link count. The 40-link 25 cm three-pack is 4.6 from 441 reviews at £16.42, titled 3/8 inch, 1.3 mm, and 40 links. The 52-link 1.1 mm three-pack is also 4.6, from 3,507 reviews at £31.91. Stihl UK says a 1.1 mm chain can lean out of a 1.3 mm groove, so the larger count is not a reason to cross gauges. The 10-inch bar and three chains is a third 4.6, at £29.33 from four reviews. Stihl UK treats 3/8 inch and 3/8 inch P as different pitches, so an LP title still has to match the stamp.

A sensible pick for your bar

A checked 25 cm bar at 40 links, 1.3 mm, and 3/8 inch takes the £16.42 semi-chisel three-pack as the top pick for that bar. A 14-inch, 52-link bar takes £21.50 at 1.3 mm, or £31.91 only when the groove is 1.1 mm and the model line says 3/8 inch LP. Fifty-seven links at 1.3 mm and 3/8 inch takes the £20.95 pack. Two of eight UK reviews say the chains arrived blunt, including a second box after a refund. The groove check sits in the pitch, gauge, and drive-link guide. An MS 181 reviewer counted 55 links and found the 57-link loop about 2 cm too long. HSE's INDG317 says a low-kickback chain reduces kickback and does not remove it, and the file has no test for that title line. A .325 inch bar starts on the buying guide.

Skip these even if the stars look fine

Leave the 50-link pack at £19.45. It is 1.3 mm and a stated 14 inches, the title says 3/8 inch, and the pitch field says 0.19 inches. One UK review says the chains were too small for a 14-inch saw. Leave the .325 inch pack at £23.95 when you wanted an Oregon 73LPX chain. It is 1.5 mm, 68 links, and semi-chisel, rated 3.8 from 79, and a bullet says it replaces 73LPX068E. Oregon publishes that family as 3/8 inch, 1.5 mm, and full chisel. The 60-link pack at £32.92 is 1.6 mm full chisel, with no UK review, and codes 3003-000-6113 and TA3X8S16H603 disagree. After the size matches, use the semi-chisel or full-chisel page.

What the pack price does and does not buy

The lower three-packs are £16.42 to £21.50, the .325 packs are £23.95 and £25.95, and the top of the set is £29.33, £31.91, and £32.92. Dividing a three-pack by three is a rule of thumb of about £5.50 to £11 a loop. The £29.33 price includes a bar, so it is not a per-loop figure. £16.42 is the best value for a confirmed 25 cm, 40-link, 1.3 mm, 3/8 inch bar, once you accept the title-only pitch. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, section 9, a pitch field that contradicts the title is a returns question, and amazon.co.uk can change these figures.

Common questions

Which tallox chain is best for a 14-inch saw?
On a 52-link, 14-inch bar, match the gauge. The £21.50 pack is 1.3 mm. The £31.91 pack is 1.1 mm, and the model line says 3/8 inch LP. Use the 1.3 mm pack for a 1.3 mm groove, and the 1.1 mm pack only when the groove is 1.1 mm and the bar is low profile. Leave the £19.45 pack while its pitch field says 0.19 inches.
Is the 4.6 rating the one to buy?
Two chains show 4.6 at different gauges. The 40-link pack is 4.6 from 441 reviews, at 1.3 mm and £16.42. The 52-link pack is 4.6 from 3,507 reviews, at 1.1 mm and £31.91. A third 4.6, the bar and three chains, rests on four reviews and has no UK review in the file. Buy the row whose gauge and drive links match the bar.
Is the cheapest pack the best value?
The £16.42 three-pack is the lowest price in these files, about £5.50 a loop if you divide by three. That sum is a rule of thumb. It is the best value on a 25 cm, 40-link, 1.3 mm, 3/8 inch bar, once the pitch is confirmed beyond the title. On a 52-link or 57-link bar it is the wrong length. Among matching loops, take the lower price.
Is the full-chisel 60-link pack the upgrade?
The £32.92 pack is three full-chisel chains at 60 links, 1.6 mm, and a stated 16 inch. Take it when the bar matches that gauge and link count, and you want the square tooth Husqvarna UK calls faster in clean softwood and quicker to dull in dirt. The £20.95 pack is 57 links at 1.3 mm. The file has no UK review of the 60-link pack, and code 3003-000-6113 does not match part TA3X8S16H603.
Does the bar-and-chain pack count as a reviewed product?
The £29.33 listing is one 10-inch bar and three chains, so the price is not three loops. It shows 4.6 from four reviews, and the file has one review, from the United States, with no UK review. The title says 3/8 LP against a pitch field of 0.38 inches, and the weight field says 1 g. Read it as a thin listing, not as a UK bar chosen on stars.
Can best cover every Stihl the title names?
A Stihl name on a listing is not a measured fit. Stihl UK still wants pitch, gauge, and length, and it treats 3/8 inch and 3/8 inch P as different pitches. The 57-link pack does not name Stihl, and a UK reviewer with an MS 181 counted 55 links and found the loop about 2 cm too long. The 60-link pack prints a long Stihl list under the tallox brand. Match the stamp, then judge that one saw.
