STIHL RAPID™ Duro 3 (RD3)

The first STIHL carbide-tipped .325" saw chain stays sharp up to four times longer than standard chains.

The STIHL RAPID™ Duro 3 chain is a low-kickback version of the previous model. It stays sharp up to four times longer than standard chains. With standard-sized cutters, the RD3 is extremely durable and produces very good results in all types of wood. It is especially suited for cutting dirty wood, treated wood, roots, and hardwoods, which would quickly dull conventional chains. This chain must be re-sharpened with a formed diamond grinding wheel.

Applications: The RD3 chain is especially suited for cutting dirty wood, treated wood, roots, and hardwoods.
