That means going out with a tape measure to measure a part you already own, on an attachment you already bought. We'd rather just look at the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGetting the photo right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLay the tooth flat, shoot it straight-on and from the side, and set something next to it for scale — a tape measure or a coin both work. If you can, include a shot of the chain link it bolts to as well. That tells us the pitch and width of your chain, not just the tooth style, and it's the fastest way to get you the right set on the first try.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to replace them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost sellers in this business don't publish a clear rule for this, so here is ours: \u003cstrong\u003ereplace the teeth once the carbide tip is gone and you're cutting with the bare steel body.\u003c\/strong\u003e Running past that point wears out the \u003cstrong\u003eholder\u003c\/strong\u003e — the metal piece the tooth bolts into — and a holder costs a lot more to replace than a tooth does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRock and frozen ground wear teeth about three times faster than normal digging.
