00:00If you've ever pulled the cover off your chainsaw after a long day of cutting and found the air
00:04filter pack solid with sawdust, you already know how fast that kills your power. A clogged filter
00:09means hard starts, bogging under load, and eventually a scored piston. So I went digging
00:15and rounded up the top 5 chainsaw air filters built for dusty, dirty cutting, and honestly,
00:20some of these deals are almost too cheap to pass up. Let's get into it.
00:25First up is the HotSail high-quality air filter set, a plastic replacement kit that fits those
00:30common 45 cubic centimeters, 52 cubic centimeters, and 58 cubic centimeters Chinese saws, the 4,500,
00:375,200, and 5,800 models. If you own one of those budget saws, this is your filter.
00:45What I like is that it's a complete set, so you're not hunting around for the housing piece that
00:49always cracks first. At $4.50, it's basically pocket change, and over 4,000 people have bought
00:56it with a 4.6 rating. Grab two, keep one clean in the toolbox and swap it mid-job.
01:03Next, this three-piece set for steel, and this one's a bit special because you get the filter,
01:07the housing, and the cover all together. It fits a huge list of models, the FC55,
01:14FS38, FS45, FS46, FS55, FS55R, HL45, and the KM55. That's most of the small steel trimmer
01:23and combi engine family right there. It's $7.68, and it's sitting at a 4.9 rating out of more
01:30than
01:304,000 orders, which is about as good as it gets on a part like this. If your old housing
01:36is warped
01:36or the clips have snapped, this is a full refresh, not just a patch. Third on the list of five
01:42-pack of
01:42air filters for the bigger steel units, the FS120, FS200, FS250, FS300, FS350, FS400, and FS450.
01:52These are the workhorse machines, and if you're running one commercially, you're changing filters
01:57way more often than the average weekend user. That's exactly why a five-pack at $7.70 makes so
02:04much sense. That works out to about $1.50 a filter. Nearly 4,000 sold, 4.8 stars, you just
02:12keep a stack
02:12in the truck and never think about it again. Number 4 is my personal favorite for value,
02:17a five-pack of double-layer air filters for the steel MS180, MS180C, MS170, and the older 017 and 018
02:25saws. The double-layer construction is the key here, that second layer catches the fine dust that
02:31slips straight through a single-mesh filter, which is exactly what you're dealing with when you're
02:35bucking dry hardwood or cutting near dirt. $4.06 for five of them. That's under $0.85 each for a
02:43filter that genuinely protects your engine. Easy call. And rounding out the list, another five-pack
02:50for the MS180 and MS170 family, but this one's the air filter plate kit, which includes the mounting
02:56plate that a lot of people don't realize wears out. If your filter keeps rattling loose or won't seal
03:01properly against the carb, the plate is usually the culprit, not the filter. $4.14 for five sets,
03:084.7 stars, over 3,500 sold. If you're already ordering the double-layer filters, throw this in
03:15two and you've got that saw sorted for years. All the links are down in the description below,
03:21so just tap whichever one fits your saw. If this helped you out, do me a favor and hit that
