deadwooding

Has anyone had any success finding a telescopic mini tool of some sort that when do big deadwoods can help with snapping stuff just out of reach.

cheers

I doubt anything telescopic would be man enough.

Something like a Stein Outreach would break in seconds.

 

We just use Jameson poles with this head on, but it’s not exactly a compact set up for moving around!

A mate has one of these which is pretty handy. You can get a hook attachment for it too. The head folds away so it's pretty compact.

Garden wolf. Much cheaper and lighter than silky. You can get different pole lengths, mine is 1.6-3.5m I believe. Drill a hole through the bttom

of the pole and loop some 5mm cord through for a biner. Let’s you clip it to your harness so that the saw head is below you rather than round your harness. Still shit to climb with but much better than Jameson rods.

Yes the telescopic wolf one is favoured by contract climbers for whacking dead or rotten stuff off. 
If clouting it doesn’t work they resort to plan B and hooking it round and pulling it down.

Of course if subbies  are working on your job, you’ll need to supply it,as they can’t fit it in their Subaru rally replica with unusually splayed out wheels.

I’ve had this for years.

It’s not man enough.

i found the wolf good (not a climber) plus you can get different heads for them and only take seconds to change and the saws have their own snap on handle so you can use it without the pole.

I use the Wolf ones as a subby, with a saw head on then sling and crab. It always makes me laugh that they have a 35 year guarantee on the card, they probably do 35 weeks and maybe 35 months but certainly no chance whatsoever of 35 years.

 

bahco have a shorter telescopic pole 1.1-2.1m that's supposed to be good for in a tree or MEWP.

Silky poles good for the big stuff but also use the telescopic wolf garten with a home made push pull hook. Being able to push is very handy and it's useful for setting ropes afar or retrieving them
