Technically it was free. Home brew from Christmas. Bloody awful.

Lovely, Big Thanks to Rob D! I'll pit it against the mighty 150 tomorrow!
-
Cracking job lads. Truly impressive. What happened to the nest
-
Same 28"-30" depending on how I'm living. Treemotion doesn't budge. Set is so it's almost difficult to do up and it's fantastic

I have Scafels, Airstreams, and Stein Werewolves. All are great, but if you already have a pair of chainsaw boots, I'd go for the Werewolves. Fantastic for climbing, and very comfortable for hiking too.

Did a medium oak deadwood and thin this morning. I've been mainly ddrt recently but I used the wrench for this. Lovely. Definitely easier than ddrt with a few decent redirects. -

£200 plus import duty, and no CE mark. As a LOLER inspector where do you stand on that? It's a fantastic device though, and worth every penny. I want one -

Have you considered a Lewis Winch? The type that fits onto a chainsaw? Steve Bullman posted a short video of one a while back, though most of it is of him being mugged off by a Swan...

Show off. Probably another purple Plum for me. -

Don't listen to Captain 3 Strand over here. SRT is the future for big tree work. I'm free most Sundays, Saturdays are rarer, but certainly doable -

If you fancy giving it a try mate, all you gotta do is find a decent tree and drop me a line -
Looking at that beast, I'd say it depends how fast you can feed it!

I reckon if you were hoping to get a job on another continent, and had to ask that question, you might not be ready

Haha I'd feel the same I reckon. Some weeks I stay on the wrench, some not so much. Last couple of weeks have been small pissy jobs so the wrench has slowly moved to the bottom of the kit bag. -
Sure thing. Probably won't be til the APF though unless Skylands fancy setting up a stall at the Cutters.
-
Interesting about the sizing. I'm bordering between small and medium so I'll hold off until I can try one on I think.

Industry First - WEREWOLF Chainsaw Climbing Boot
Joe Newton replied to Stein Products's topic in General chat
You can drag brash, and furthermore, because they're a climbing boot, they allow you to use a top handle saw on the ground. -
Pics?

I hang the 150 from the side handle onto a large caritool with the gate removed. Can be a pain in a dense tree though.
-
Next time I'm down Tommy's way you can expect a boot full of saws. If I drop them off in the morning can you have them done by the afternoon?
-
Simple fact is it's not right. And your guy is facilitating this guy by doing it. Either this employer will find a mug who's happy to do it or he'll never keep good staff.
-
If the guys any good, why doesn't he look elsewhere? Doesn't sound like the kind of boss to work for.
-
If you ever come up with a solution to lanyards fouling on caritools, you could retire, buy a coke farm, and have all the young Puerto Rican boys you could handle. You'd die of a heart attack 3 days later mind.

Do you not have the plastic high clip point on your T540? The strop ring and the high clip ring are seperate
