The Stihl 12-inch (30 cm) PM3 Picco Micro 3 chainsaw chain is a genuine OEM replacement loop engineered for light, compact saws and pole pruners. Manufactured from high-grade hardened steel with precision-ground micro-chisel cutters and robust rivets, it delivers fast, clean cutting while maintaining smooth handling. With a 3/8 inch Low Profile pitch (9.5 mm), a 0.050 inch (1.3 mm) gauge, and 44 drive links, this chain is optimised for narrow-kerf efficiency on 12-inch guide bars requiring this specification.
Its low-kickback and low-vibration design makes it safer and easier to use, helping reduce operator fatigue during longer cutting sessions. Combined with Stihl’s engineering standards, this chain offers consistent sharpness, reliable durability, and precise tracking. Ideal for compact saws such as the MS 170 and MS 180, it is equally suited to selected electric and battery-powered Stihl machines.
