Awarded the 2006 "Innovation of the Year Award" at Germany's GaLaBau Tree & Landscape Show, the Rattle Wedge is an elegantly simple yet effective device. This unique ratcheting screw is used to hold open a back-cut or inspire directional fall of timber parts while working aloft (or sometimes on the ground) without need of hammer and wedge. Especially useful when help isn't available groundside to pull a tag line, the Rattle Wedge works well also for certain ground level big log bucking situations. To operate for felling, and with a face notch and back cut made, the Rattle Wedge is introduced like a corkscrew directly into the kerf opposite your notch. Now the operator simply cranks the ratcheting handle (like a socket wrench) to drive the Rattle Wedge fully into the kerf, producing up to 3 inches of lift (If hinge is too thick and not releasing, additional back-cut can be performed with a straight blade handsaw.) Rattle Wedge can be powered in either direction with the push of a button.

Wt 3 pounds

 

Sounds like a good idea, does anyone in the UK sell them? if so how many £££s?

ive got one.frankly its a better paper weight than a working tool,tried it up in the tree and found it hard work to turn the handle and it worked out a lot better to push them off,when i bought it i was under the impression that it was a geared ratchet.its not.the tree we tried it on was a raintree,the peice 12 inch by 6 ft long approx,not worth the money.
