What's the best hook to clip chainsaw to your harness rather than leaving it dangling off your saw strop and the best place to buy them from

I use these little things seem to do the job. Petzl Caritool large | F R Jones and Son

 

 

 

The smaller one seems to be up to the job (and it's cheaper:thumbup:), well i haven't broken it yet. Having said that i'm only thinking of the 201T. Larger saws i use a krab on the steel ring in the strop and clip to my right side D:blushing: as only the rear attachment loop on the harness is rated to hang a saw (Sequoia SRT).

 

As for where to buy, for me it's local - Forest Park and Garden, not sure if Rhys does mail order though?

Likewise, caritool, and one of these at the back for the 460.... STEIN aluminium bent gate karabiner 23kN | F R Jones and Son

I made my own got a old carabiner cut it so it was J shape filled the back end flat drilled to holes one bottom one top got a old leather belt cut a length of it and bolted it to the back of the carabiner using washers to pevent the bolt pulling through the leather. Then just slide it onto your harness belt job done mines been going for 5 years. Caritools are ok but I kept snapping them.

I use a tool hook made by Komet that is specifically for chainsaw to harness attachment. I think I bought it from Sorbus but ill check that out. I've found you either love em or hate em as some climbers get annoyed that they will occasionally clip to twigs etc.

I use carritool, love it.

Hang the 260 or the 201t off it no worries.

Yep Sorbus sorry don't know how to link. They have two types on there. I use the red one on my Treemotion and have used it on Treeflex, Sequoias. Cheers.

carrytool as poop if you are working in a cherry picker basket they are just at the right height for catching the top rail and breaking off but they are good for everything else
