Yup - your diagnosis is dead right. Thanks. I deleted my post after running the 150 some more today - it really is dull! I deleted the post 'cause I didn't want to dis' this nice little saw. Sorry for any confusion.

MS150TC has been a great beginner's first climbing saw for me - powerful enough to do a fair bit of simple trimming, and light enough for me to keep control of the thing and not get into dangerous situations. I've since bought a MS251C for basic felling and bucking - they're a good pair for a...

Anyone tried these? (misspelled name in the thread heading - should be 'Magnetron') http://blackdiamondequipment.com/en/climbing-carabiners-quickdraws/magnetron-rocklock-carabiner-BD2102870000ALL1.html They have a pair of magnetic clips that keep the spring-loaded gate closed unless both are...

Thanks, Bermy. Yeah, reading the arborist forums, I've totally bought the 2-points-of-attachment rule. Plus, as you say, a lanyard helps maintain a good work position. The lanyard I used yesterday was fixed-length - I learned the (many) limitations of that design. I'm gonna get/make one of those...

Total newbee - learning tons in this forum I actually left the ground for first time today to do some minor tree pruning! I now understand why everyone says you quickly find bits of your climbing system that work for you, and bits that don't. I got to this point via a strange route ... might...
