Rear handle fixed harness attachments

[Ledburyjosh]

What ways have people come up with for a attaching a fixed ring or something to the rear handle of a ground saw for hanging it off a caritool?

 

Up until today I used to hand them of the front handle. But I know want to rack it bar facing down.

 

The idea being similar to the fixed points on the husky top handles. It's always in the same place unlike the ring on the strop aswell as holding the saw higher.

A binner ?

Fixed or very stiff in position would be what im after. So it's not flopping around and always in the same place

There’s a rubber thingy that will hold a Krab rigid in a rear handle, I’ll see if I can find it on the net..

So I tried a welded addition/modification to the metal ring that's supplied with the standard saw lanyard, to try and hold the ring at 90° to lanyard.

I think it might work, with some more dabbling, but too busy to sort it, currently. 

I also noticed on Sorbus marketing photos a rigid alloy-looking ring, that fitted onto the rear attachment point of a top handled Sthil saw.

However, I couldn't find this on their website anywhere ? 

It looked useful. 

I think the clip on your dcs2500 is the gold standard, tho.

I've put a screen shot up of something like the Sorbus device.

The nipping arsehole style kitchen towel holder that the nice young man with the majestic hair on instagram uses?

Nobody's ever said that exact sentence before.

I would bend some 4mm dia steel bar in a loose basket hitch type shape to fit the handle which will become the strength/reinforcement, followed by the attachement ring. Weld a plate on either side so that it can be bolted up with a thumb screw or similar. Use rubber sheet/3d printed part to make it a nice fit on the handle. I'd probably have the attachment ring to pivot on the plate, if it were for me, but your you want it fixed and stiff.

Oh yes -a 3D printed stiff-one, that sounds like a winner now, especially for those older climbers amongst us...

Is anyone offering to model the prototype? 

Perhaps Kram or Alex might patent it:

The Handy Stiffy Mk1

😆

 

Sorry, I'll get my coat now..

Husq do this thing, I assume something like that but with a big enough ring to have a tool stop and clip onto harness?
