Weird saw hook and forearms?

[Mani]

Skip to 20 secs on this vid,

 

do a lot of tree surgeons have hooks on their harnesses for their saws like that? i've never seen it before, is it a new thing? is it a good idea? And what are those things on his forearms?

 

hang on till 40 secs for some of the worst singing ever.

its a very well made tree surgery video, normally they're very poor. dont know why they are making notches for lifting vertical pieces, did you notice the last cut comes in below the notch and the guy making it had the saw juddering like hell in the cut. Dont like the idea of using chains for that kind of work.

 

They got the job done ok and everyone looked happy

Don't like the way the crane driver postions the lump over the climber,

[ecolojim]

also not keen on the guy on the ground not wearing a lid but that really is a personal pet hate!

[Dean Lofthouse]

why's he putting in a gob for a lift??

thats cranework, its unavoidable, unless the tree surgeon comes out the tree before the pick.

Got to disagree there Mani, if that's the only path out for the lump the climber should position himself 180 degrees the other side the trunk.

Look like the SIPS saw protection sleeves. I have a hook for hanging the saw high but i never use it on the body of the saw
