Review: Reecoil lanyards

I looked at these a while back....do you not find it too long?

Have one and for big jobs awesome but small jobs terrible as u can’t just cut little branches let it hang and carry on but nice and short when coiled however does seem to catch every branch cos it coiled as you climb up

It's a great lanyard, just don't get into the habit of dropping your saw.

you will spend half the day pulling it back up.

Nope. They're designed to be clipped up. Would be absolutely horrific if you had your saw hanging below you as you climb around. As Rich says, you'd only let it hang down below you once!

Recently got one,really like it.

I clip my saw on my harness when not in use,i dont like it swinging around.

I bought one and use it solely on my Echo CS 2511 TES.  I think it's just too long at full or part extension even for a gibbon with overly long arms. As stated above you need to be careful not to drop the saw if you are not to high off the ground as you could stab a groundie in the head with the chain and bar or poke the saw thru that greenhouse glass roof you've been trying hard to avoid.   I'm not really sure whether i like it or not but if there was a shorter one available i may find that variant less likely to coil up awkwardly.   

Seems to me they made it excessively long.  Surely it only needed to be another foot longer than the standards 

If it's too long can you just tie a few knots in it?

The thing costs a small fortune.  I wouldn't want to spend that money on something then have to knot it up to make it useable!!
