composite or steel toe cap? You may think twice!

[Stubby]

Yes Stubby they are. I wonder how many others are checking their boots

 

Thats a good thing then

To be fair Jamie should you be really cutting near your feet in the first place?

 

what about when your logging up on a job, thats pretty near your feet isnt it??

now to check my boots!

My left boot always has a few nicks from a coasting chain when logging up . No big deal .

We take a stihl smart holder saw horse when we have to log every thing at end of day, this came about after a lad I know had a close one with a saw and a boot.

 

We are on mendle boots to, not given the toe caps a second thought until now

 

Never cut any boots in the tree, that's got to be some odd positions going on, however I am guilty of using the saw one handed at times even though I should know better.

 

Things like this can not be a bad thing to make people think every now and again

I don't use composites when using saws. I have a pair that are basically cold store toe capped boots and are great when working on the grounds during the colder months.

Only disadvantage of steel I'm aware of is . Lightning and electric conduction. It's a freak occurrence but it does happen.

The injuries are horrendous melted boots and burned feet, how would you take yours off?

[treequip]

Lets not forget that the toe cap is primarily an impact protection device and that PPE is the last line of defence

 

Best way not to cut your foot off is to not cut your foot off
