One of the most common questions we get regarding the ICS Concrete Chainsaw is “How long will the chain last?”

That’s a darn good question. But I don’t know.

There are many variables that affect chain life.

  • Material Type
  • Type of Aggregate
  • User
  • Water Supply
  • Amount of reinforcement
  • Type and Size of reinforcement.

One important factor to remember is to match the chain to the material. ICS offers different chains for different applications.
