    Pistol Grip Wrist Saving Arborist Tool

    Jomo, to avoid the armful backlash from the vice-grip, you get a giant backlash from your strong springs and heavy hammer head. The pet nails cutter pushes you in a way which doesn't seem right to me. The rope and many other things like a simple paper sheet or some meat are very hard to cut just...

    Pistol Grip Wrist Saving Arborist Tool

    The steel cable doesn't help, but the main actor of the backlash is the grip plier itself. You get the same when you clamp seriously some steel stock for welding or folding. With a rotating cam (for example), that shouldn't be a concern. Just an idea, make a conical end or a nosecone at the...

    Pistol Grip Wrist Saving Arborist Tool

    I think you really do, but the way you present and explain it doesn't help at all. May I add, pics and links out of subject?

    I saw that a few days ago for the sailors. It could be interesting, no cut needed. That's a rope carabiner releasable, even under load. It's available in 3 sizes, as a finished product (public sell) or "naked" to be integrated in a splice ( pro sell). <iframe width="560" height="315"...

    I can see the deal with the electromagnet, but what about the wind-rocker?

    Better to have 2 triggers : The first one activates the mechanism shooting the cord around the limb, catching it back and tending it. The second one cuts/releases the cord. :D Well...isn't there someone said KISS ?:/:

    Pistol Grip Wrist Saving Arborist Tool

    LOL @ Butch ! That's an important point here and not an easy one to solve : passing around the limb and tying back on the device with only one (gloved) hand. It has to be easy and quick to be actually used (and secure of course). If you need both bare hands to attach the cord, it downgrades...

    Pistol Grip Wrist Saving Arborist Tool

    Actually, there's one move relatively friendly for the wrist/arm. It's for the limbs on the opposite side of the trunk or above you, by letting them go forward away from you, not to the side. The hand keeps its grip in line with the limb and your arm, like with an axe splitting fire logs. But...

    I only grasp the limbs with 2" diameter max, except with dead wood which can be a little bigger. That's about what I can hold with the thumb touching the trigger finger, giving me the best grip. I found that's a good size for most trees to match the max load I can handle. Cupressus arizonica for...
