Genuine Husqvarna 596285104 3/8" LoPro Hobby Filing Depth Gauge Tool

What It Is

This is a genuine Husqvarna depth gauge tool for filing the cutters on 3/8" Low Profile (LoPro) hobby/consumer chainsaw chains. It ensures consistent raker depth for proper cutting performance and reduced kickback risk.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Chain pitch: 3/8" Low Profile only (not standard 3/8" or .325"). Verify your chain’s pitch is stamped on the drive link or bar.
• Chain gauge: Works with .050" (1.3mm) and .043" (1.1mm) gauge chains (common on Husqvarna 120, 130, 135, 240, 340, 345, 350, 445, 450).
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is genuine Husqvarna (part #596285104). Aftermarket alternatives from Oregon or Stihl may not match the exact depth setting.
• Check your model: Confirm your saw uses 3/8" LoPro chain. Husqvarna saws with 3/8" standard pitch (e.g., 455 Rancher) require a different tool.

Key Things to Know

• No adjustment: The tool has a fixed depth setting—no user adjustment. It’s preset for proper raker height on LoPro hobby chain.
• Easy to use: Place the tool over the raker, file the raker down flush with the tool’s flat top. No measuring or guesswork.
• Not for professional chain: LoPro chain is thinner and has different raker specs than full-size 3/8" chain. Using this tool on standard 3/8" will leave rakers too high.
• Low review count: Only 3 reviews at 3.5 stars—likely due to niche use, not poor quality. Most complaints stem from mismatched chain pitch.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Husqvarna saw with 3/8" Low Profile chain (common on homeowner models like the 120 or 240) and want a simple, foolproof way to maintain raker depth. Skip it if you have standard 3/8" chain or prefer an adjustable depth gauge tool.
