Trouser manufactures , please design a better solution

How/why is the saw catching on the bottom of your trousers? Never had this issue either just using just a strop or high clipping a saw onto a caritool on a strop ring or the 540 loop.

 

Just seems a weird issue tbh.

Couple of pics Treerover.

High clipped with the handle on large Caritool, and clipped on the lanyard ring.

Second scenario I think Dan Maynard is right, the Zubat sheath in the Sawpod offers a fair degree of protection.

I’ve got long legs so only seem to catch the back of my leg with a 20” inch bar.

Very useful , thanks Mark. Does that large Caritool not catch branches all the time and subsequently snap or irritate?

Put the saw lanyard on the top of the saw, not the back. Keeps the bar sticking out away from your legs. I use a Reecoil, mainly because they're awesome and allow you to do this easily and secondly, I think the bloke on the front of the catalogue is inspiring and ruggedly sexy

Another great tip, cheers Tommy. Incidentally, have you gone all 'Philip Schofield' on us ?

Pretty rarely mate, never snapped a large one, they’re pretty bomb-proof.

I always remove the gate, which minimises fuckonery.

More pics in a bit.

Mick will love them.

Same as Mark , only saw hook I would use after getting metal hooks caught in rigging lines... I’d rather snap a caritool than get dragged out a tree.

These should be banned !

CMI Shembiner. A light weight, aluminium milled karabiner for any tool that you need to get out of your way minus the clumsy gate. With ZERO moving parts the Shembiner its pretty dang easy to put that tool away with gloves on.

I spotted that and was about to ask if the pros of removing the gate outweigh the cons, but then I had trouble trying to think of any cons.

Might give it a go the next time I'm up.
