How to Protect Your Chainsaw Bar During Storage and Transport

Protect your Chainsaw Bar the Smart Way

Ever pulled your chainsaw out of the truck or shed only to find the bar dinged, scratched, or worse—starting to rust?

Whether you’re tossing it in the back of your truck, hanging it up in the garage, or hiking to a job site, chainsaw bars take a beating when they’re not properly protected.

Even minor nicks and dents can interfere with a clean cut.

The result: Increased job time while you try to correct the cut and a corresponding increase in chainsaw operator irritation levels! 🙂

Which is not really funny if it’s your chainsaw and/or your problem!

This is where a Chainsaw Bar Scabbard Cover steps in and saves the day.

How to Protect Your Chainsaw Bar During Storage and Transport

This simple but sturdy cover slips easily over your chainsaw bar.

It protects the bar from scratches, knocks, dust, and moisture.

So no more worrying about the chain gouging other tools. Or oil leaks going everywhere, or the bar rusting while it’s stored.

Most are made from durable plastic or heavy-duty rubber. They also come in various lengths to fit snugly, no matter your saw’s size.

Some are made to fit a variety of lengths (within reason) e.g. one might fit chainsaws with a bar between 12 inches and 16 inches long while another will accommodate 18 – 22 inch bars . Others are made to fit a specific bar length

Do you care about keeping your chainsaw in top shape and ready to work? If so, then adding a bar cover is one of the easiest upgrades you can make.

It’s one of those small things that will makes a big difference.
