It was so fast the sound was delayed 💀

The word for "non-differences" would be "similarities". 😁

Great info on the saw & crutch assembly, but im actually not a fan of the panther bars. STAY SAFE

DATELINE: The Duck Ranch, 1,500 m a.s.l., Latitude 36º 07’ 03” N Longitude 138º 12’ 43” E ...approximately 9,220 km from Reading, UK~ I have been {very happily } running a T540iXP with the screen cover on the side panel for a few years now. After watching this presentation I am inspired to take the side panel off and see just what is going on debris wise BEFORE there is any problem. Thank you from a Canadian living in Japan.

I’d be interested to see how a US Rigging 46mm stainless steel ring stacks up against these 3. It’s comparable to the CMI which is also stainless, but is rated at only 24 kN.

Is the rope runner test on your channel

Great video on a very real issue. I’d appreciate a full video of every stage of the process from start to finish. My attention span is quite good!

Yea I hate that chain my milawaukee came with, I just literally recently changed mine out with a new bar from Oregon 14” and I only had to make a tiny hole in the bar for the adjuster tab to go thru but now I can get chains all day for my milawaukee top handle, now I’m rocking 3/8 .050 chains which are super easy to come by and the things back rippin zero issues

I have the Stihl 161T for over 3 years, have used and abused it for sure beyond manufacturers recommendation and so far this little saw never failed. I am not sure if I with trade it for anyone of those 2 model's they seem more bulky and heavier.

Where the moisture is getting in, could you not put a little bit of caulk their before you put the bottom plate back on

That 540i is great to use. I would love to try the 542i one day.

Stihl -Way too much chain indeed! Shuts off too fast, and heavy. Husq- I put the speed cut nano bar/chain on it and I would run it full time if my subscribers didn't complain about elec saws the whole time. 🙃 DeWalt is sending me their new top handle to use. I have a feeling it'll be a lot like the Stihl and not out perform the Husqvarna.

about the balance: husky isnt balancend either, love my 540, but the weightdistribution is backward, and with the new battery 220x its gone be even worse, so yeah good product but not balanced( unless with smaller battery but then it s underpowered not useable to fell)

Very nice! I can tell it's pretty bomb proof. The wedge pouch is genuiness. I'd probably use this as a rigging line bag. I'd store my rig line and sling inside the bag and a omni block and/or regular block in the big pocket. Nice having the bar tool with the bag too. I'm always telling my guys to get one out of the truck. This makes it convenient. My climbing bag and rigging bags take the most wear and tear as they are used the most and typically in the danger zone of tree work.

Isn't this saw to bulky and heavier to cut with one hand on top of a tree? In my case I am with Stihl, I have the 161T but I have the same feeling in regard to the 220C.

Very nice

Interesting...Richard Mumford does video on how to useing soap and scratch pad dish pad...didnt take hour..but reckon they get hot from sun weather could be harder

Cant understand why all saddle companies dont make the saddle eith rated bucket fall arrest attachment 📎 points.sure that back hook is better than nothing but suspenders are not rated..or chest harnesses..if they just make them with A OPTIONS TO hook to it doesent change the saddle for guys who dont use it.wich i think again all saddle s should have them ..every other industry has them even just make the loops rated anything so a guy can have options..i like haveing fall arrest on thecsadle even when its not bucket rated..therr are plenty of situations where in tree it would help not to mention falling .cant understand it..camp is nice but has no buckles and all the buckingham saddles are way over priced higher than the kinisi even...another issue or theft by companies is the buckingham lineman gear ..there lanyards and pole climbing lanyards are a rope grab ,a peice or rope and peice of leather strap wich degrades.and can break like shoe laces..they are beyind high priced.like 1500.00 and more for a lanyard.its diwn right criminal..look them up..i mean its ligetiment.rant...

Received. Really good quality! I'm impressed. I added the gas/oil pouch, axe holder, and wedge pouch. I'm 5' 10" and 165lbs. I did have to adjust the belt and suspenders all the way down. Seems like it's made for big burley guys. 😂 Still fits me though. 👍 I think it'll last forever so that's good. Great investment. I'm really impressed with the products coming out of Canada. My critique would be to have the axe holder be a little wider. Maybe a couple inches or give an option for a size depending on what axe the user has. Maybe two sizes. Thanks guys. I'm open to reviewing products on my channel if that's something you're interested in. - Tim

Love breaking stuff. You should do "breakaway" chainsaw lanyards, different brands. I would love to see how much it takes to break one... - Patrick

A lot stronger than I would have guessed. It was in a tree for 10 years, but probably not much sunlight eh? I think it's the UV that does most of the damage. Excellent break test video. - Patrick

Thanks Will, this is excellent. I am hoping to get one of your 5/8" wirecore lanyards, but I don't want the standard snap on the end. I would prefer to use it with a Petzl Ball Lock carabiner. Is it possible to make this lanyard with plastic or aluminum thimbles instead of the stainless? - Patrick

Excellent video. Well explained in the classroom, and in the tree.

Really nice video💪😎👍 STAY SAFE BROTHER

How much will/does it cost?

5mm socket for the centre and circlip pliers for leverage on the clutch works also

So the cheapest flipline had the highest breaking strength?

Great video. Thanks for sharing

Good review. I like that you kept the camera on the harness so we could look at it in detail. I have a tree motion evo and monkey beaver harness. I like the one in the video but hard to justify another $900. Would it make a big enough difference compared to the evo? 🧐 Idk...

Had mine for a month now, 1300 Aud. Worth every cent, love the West Coast chest harness. Now to find one. Cheers

Great video! Thanks.

Thanks for the review!

So tree magineers got over powered by teffelburger??

If you ever get around to breaking more aluminum rings, I’d be interested to see how PenSafe’s 45mm ring compares to SMC’s Radius, Courant’s Atoll, Kong’s Ana, and TreeAustria’s 3.2 rings.

Yayyy!!! I was so worried.

Excellent bit of info thanks. Get part 2 going please. My 520iHE3 stopped today mid job with similar but maybe less dramatic sounding noises. The blades jump around 3 or 4 mm everytime I press the throttle but then get the flashing light and it's basically locked up. Had to finish off the hedge with a topping saw like a cowboy. I was hoping it might be a bearing or something "cheaper" to replace but I've yet to open her up to check... she's unfortunately well out of warranty. What are my chances it could be an issue like in your video or a similar/different issue? I called a local shop to describe and the guy said it'd probably need a motor kit. Appreciate your video here.

I was surprised how little the DMM ring stretched compared to the others - do you know if it is machined rather than forged?

Is there a video on breaking steel rings? I couldn’t find it.

Are the quickies rated for side loading ?

nice post. no gear fear is nice feeling when one knows history and how to inspect rope.

Nice review. Do you any pre cycling of rope before break, (Cordage Institute Standards) 10 times at 50% load?

💯 Promo SM

Very interesting. I wonder how different it would be with the added friction of tree bark instead of the bollard.

Thanks for this! I knew the cover was included for a reason!

Now it’ll slide off just as easy

Thanks for the video. I use Quickies every time we are in a tree, or even working under a tree. Don't know how many we have but several. Use them on basal anchors, canopy anchors, joining different ropes, etc. 11.1K vs 10.5k. $70 vs $35. I like the insert in the ISC UntraLink but not sure it worth twice as much as the Quickie for only 0.6k additional load.

Thank you

Thread type and size? 8 bar tacks seems to work very well.

I like my new ISC UltarLink (small). Without the pulley, I am using it to connect my Uniscender directly to my saddle bridge.

I have a few Quickie's but I'm not a fan of the slick pins - trying to get them out. I'll probably try an UltraLink soon. Will probably go with the small version though.
