STIHL OEM 3612 005 0055 PICCO™ Duro 3 PD3 Carbide Chainsaw Chain – 16″, 3/8″ Picco, .050″ Gauge, 55 Drive Links
Get dramatically longer cutting-edge life in demanding and abrasive cutting conditions with the STIHL PICCO™ Duro 3 (PD3) Carbide Chainsaw Chain. Genuine STIHL OEM part number 3612 005 0055 is a 16″ chain featuring 3/8″ low-profile (Picco) pitch, .050″ (1.3 mm) gauge, and 55 drive links. Precision-welded carbide cutting edges allow the PD3 to stay sharp up to four times longer than standard saw chains, making it especially well suited for dirty wood, treated lumber, roots, hardwoods, and other abrasive cutting conditions where conventional chain can dull quickly.
⚠️ Before You Order – Verify Fitment & Carbide Chain Requirements
Chain fitment depends on the specifications of your guide bar and cutting system—not just the chainsaw or pole pruner model.
Always verify your current chain specifications:
- 16″ (40 cm) Bar Length
- 3/8″ Low Profile (Picco) Pitch
- .050″ (1.3 mm) Gauge
- 55 Drive Links
- STIHL PICCO™ Duro 3 (PD3)
- Carbide Cutting Edges
Bar length alone does not guarantee compatibility. STIHL equipment may use different guide bar and chain combinations. Always verify the pitch, gauge, drive-link count, and guide bar specifications before ordering.
Important – Carbide Chain: PICCO Duro 3 is not sharpened like a conventional steel saw chain. The carbide cutters must be professionally re-sharpened using the proper formed diamond grinding wheel. A standard chainsaw file is not suitable for sharpening the carbide cutting edges.
If you’re unsure, contact us with your STIHL model number, serial number, guide bar information, and current chain number, and we’ll help verify the correct replacement before you order.
