    If you don't check your chain tension before ,during and after using it you have rocks in your head. It is easy and simple to do. Make it a rule of using the saw. You can feel a slack chain when your using it. Stop and tighten it up. Simple. No brand new chain won't stretchn matter what breed it is.

    Well your Stihls must be different to mine then as the chains on both mine have stretched with use and have needed tensioning. I have 3 saws, 2 Stihls and a Baum I got of ebay and to be truthfull I reckon the Baum has less of a problem with chain stretch than the Stihl's do. I reckon I would take a bet on time on chainsaws. I have a lot more years on you mate and used to live and work in the bush using saws daily some times for weeks on end helping my brother in law with his firewood business so I reckon I would win that one hands down. When you get dry behind the ears you might be able to make a statement like that.

    Point is the the statement that a Stihl chain wont stretch is not correct. All chainsaw chains stretch with use including Stihl.
