Milwaukee 49-16-2881 4pc 5/32” Saw Chain Sharpening Set

Milwaukee’s 49-16-2881 chainsaw file kit delivers fast touch-ups and consistent filing angles for common low-profile chain sizes. The set centers on two 5/32″ round files that bite quickly to refresh cutter edges and reduce downtime between cuts. A contoured Milwaukee Round File Handle provides a comfortable, secure grip and is designed for quick swaps, so operators can move from tooth to tooth without fumbling with tools. To keep edges uniform, the included Angle Guide provides clear 10°, 25°, 30°, and 35° markings that help users maintain the correct file angle across the bar—key to straight tracking and efficient chip clearing.

Built for field use, the files feature durable steel for long service life and predictable results on softwood or hardwood jobs. This saw chain sharpening set is sized for chains using 3/8″ LOW PROFILE™ (.050″ gauge), .325″ LOW PROFILE™, and 1/4″ pitch, making it a practical choice for tree care crews, landscapers, and property maintenance teams that run compact saws and top-handles. Whether you’re pruning, limbing, or performing storm cleanup, this kit keeps the essentials together so chains stay sharp and cut clean.
