| Animals OnlyOP trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 2,303 Western Michigan | So I bought two chainsaw chains online. One I was able to unravel and it is now round. The other is in a bowtie shape and I can't figure out how to get the twist out. It's the bottom chain in the picture below. Any suggestions? AKA: Rusty Shackleford |

I am pretty sure you have to break it. It is easily done you need a grinder or flat file and a couple hammers and a small punch. "They Say Nothing is Impossible, |
