If it says “Oregon” and is being sold at HD, then I’m sure it’s the real deal. I may have misunderstood what the guy said. I thought they didn’t sell Oregon chain at HD, but apparently they do. So, to amend my original statement, “any non-Oregon chain sold at Home Depot is made in China.”

Well thats much better.

Does this mean then that more or less all Oregon chains are a domestically produced quality chain and that they don’t have a junk chain they sell to Wally World and other discount box stores?  I cna go to Wal-Mary and buy a 2 pack 18” bar chain for about $20 or my local hardware store and buy one chain for $21.

I was in two HD stores here yesterday and there weren’t any Oregon chains to be found anymore. Lowe’s still carries them.

I also inspected several of the Power Care brand chains at HD and it appears that they aren’t Carlton anymore. Damnit!

All Oregon, Carlton and Windsor chain that you buy in this country is made in the U.S. They have factories in several other countries that make chain for international markets.
