Trouser manufactures , please design a better solution

Another thing is if your using a 540 use the grey saw hook as it keeps it higher and barely snags unlike using a ring on the tool strop.

Love that grey clip, really miss it on the little Echo.

 

Keep meaning to try and bastardise one somehow.

Not as your primary attachement for the saw though? It’s not strong enough.

[Mark Bolam]

No Mick, primary attachment is via a normal hook.

The 540 has both.

The grey loop Mick

[Mick Dempsey]

Yes, but the grey loop (which is for stowing the saw on your belt presumably) won’t hold the saws weight on its own (guess who lost one out of the tree!)

Got my chainsaw trousers patched by Patagonia  when they were offering a promotional service to repair any "outdoor clothing" for free for 2 days at some local event. ?

 

Hole wasn't that bad though but the did a really good job.

It will, and does all day on a Caritool.

 

You'd want it backed up, obviously.

[Mark Bolam]

Maybe not so obviously to you Mick!

How on earth did you lose one?

[Mick Dempsey]

I was using the grey one because it was easier to clip the biner through.

 

I rarely stow the saw, just slide the lanyard through my fingers after a cut and move around with it loose.

 (I know, just never got into the habit)

 

Anyway one day I was sliding it through as usual and the grey loop broke and down it went.

Luckily it speared into some wet earth, no damage.

Great saw, very poky, Mark 1s were a bit fragile though.
