Matty Go to back handels, no way that's the kind of knee jurk reaction we need to avoid, but if we leve the HSE no choice we will end up going the same way as Germany.

The top handle has two handles!

h.s.e document on this subject bit lengthy but informative

 

Tophandle saw use (download the pdf for later reading )

 

treevolution did the research here is a link for their other releases/research ( i see they are currently researching Evaluation of Current Rigging and Dismantling Practices used in Arboriculture so that should be an intresting read when released)

 

i would say 60/40 in favour of two handed use i will always use my silky for tip work especially if i need to cut and hold as i would rather let my silky drop than have to drop the saw and shock load the fixings if i need a quick hand.....

after reading this years ago and speaking to treevolution i was informed that every tree surgeon they spoke to didnt use a saw one handed at which point i thought it must a english thing for all the work and money that went into this report it could have looked at how when and why VERY disapointed:laola::fu:

good to hear ! i was getting worried you where in favour of banning them or some thing........

I find my one handed use is down to mainly to wanting to get tip reductions with out snapping the branch with my 13 stone fat arse or an easy option for felling to get the right angle curfs and back cuts from one safe position on a hazardus tree or just becouse its too windy for step cuts and cut and hold is the only option.....i had my first saw cut ever, a month or so ago and that was a first in 12 years of every day use and it was not from one handing -infact if i was it would not of happend
