Overview
This chain is manufactured to OEM specs for RYOBI P2570 Chainsaw saws, providing dependable cutting performance as an aftermarket alternative. Available as a 2-pack, giving you a ready spare. Chains wear down over time from regular use, and a fresh chain cuts faster and safer than a dull one.
Key specifications
- Bar length: 12”
- Drive links: 64
- Quantity: 2 chains per pack
Compatibility
Engineered for direct compatibility with RYOBI P2570 Chainsaw. Check your owner’s manual or the existing chain’s markings to verify pitch, gauge, and drive link count before ordering.
Installation notes
Disconnect the spark plug wire or remove the battery before changing a chainsaw chain. Remove the bar cover, release bar tension, and take off the old chain. Place the new chain into the bar groove with the cutting teeth facing forward on top. Reinstall the cover, adjust chain tension until snug, and test by pulling the chain around the bar by hand. Re-check tension after a few minutes of use.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack of 12-inch chains fit my RYOBI P2570 chainsaw, or do I need a different size?
Yes, these chains are made for a 12-inch bar and are compatible with the RYOBI P2570. As long as your saw still has the original 12-inch setup, these are the correct replacement size for that model.
Q: How do I know if I installed the 12-inch chain correctly on my RYOBI P2570?
Make sure the cutting teeth on the top of the bar are facing forward toward the bar tip, since a backwards chain will not cut properly. After installation, tension the chain so it sits snugly against the bar but can still be pulled around by hand with gloves, then recheck tension after the first few cuts.
Q: Since this comes with 2 chains, how should I maintain them to make them last longer on my P2570?
It helps to alternate between the two chains so each one gets cleaned and sharpened before it becomes overly dull. Keep proper chain oil in the saw, clean debris from the bar groove and drive area, and replace or sharpen the chain if you notice fine dust instead of chips or if the saw starts cutting crooked.
