Recoil chainsaw lanyard

[Steve Bullman]

Has anyone used one of these? I like the idea but wondering if perhaps 2.2m is a little too long. I find it hard finding a lanyard which is long enough though. Just replaced mine and the new one is far too short.

Never tried 1!

I use 1 of those yellow things with the little bungee and the ring for shortening it to hang off your side.

Used them for years.

never found a bungee one long enough, and I hate those rings..generally cut them off

It's not a cheap product that's for sure.

 

This one has more features and is £6 or £7 cheaper.

Do you know what that extends to?

[Mick Dempsey]

Why would you need anything longer than your arm could reach?

[john p]

2.2 meters is excessive, as is the price for something that's inevitably going to get cut!

[Steve Bullman]

Why would you need anything longer than your arm could reach?

 

Because i'm lazy. My lanyard attaches at the back of me which takes away a fair bit of the reach for starters, and often I will cross the lanyard across my front to cut to the left because the saw is already in my right hand and i'm too lazy to drop it, move it round my back, and swap hands.

Tend to have a little extender on back of harness with a bit of webbing and a old ring

A lot easier to find on back of harness and hate it been too short

[Steve Bullman]

doesn't need to be much longer but most of the ones I see are just a few inches too short.
