Rattle Wedge?

[Old Mill Tree Care]

I've seen the photo and a video so I get the jist.

However, I wondered if it's a useful product or just a gimmic that gets used five times then it's relegated to the bottom of a pile of other 'good ideas'.

Also, is it just for chogging down big lumps or is it a useful felling wedge?

Thanks.

What is it?

We bought one about 10 years ago and persevered with it for a while.

 

But it wasn't very useful in our experience.

 

It's been hanging up in the shed on the same peg for about 7 years

Ahh just googled, seen pics before but didn't know what they were called, thought it looked handy though

Yep I have bought one and only used it once, found it a few years later and took it to work. My mate wanted to try it and used it to wedge a big chog off, he left his hinge too big and put too much pressure on the handle and bent it. Probably dig it out in a few years time and have another go again! Does look good in the vid tho

It looks a big chunk of metal to carry about in a tree.
