Target market is the 1 saw homeowner group. Handy tool for any saw owner.

When you just take one saw to the woods, it will invariably get pinched first thing! My son had to leave a saw in a tree one evening until I brought another saw to cut it out the next morning.
So be prepared. That Miracle Wedge would have come in handy for me a few times.
I always take at least three saws and a couple wedges with me. I have plenty to choose from.

Glad to hear you testify .In addition to rocking a chain ,installing a chain backwards ,oiling the gas tank you will given enough time hang a saw .You might even do two in the same tree .Anybody that hasn't either has had very little time on the trigger or handles the truth carelessly .
-
How about hanging two saws then dropping the tree on one of them. :-[
-
Knock on wood I've yet to squash a saw . I did however back over a tool box with a D4 Cat if that counts .
-
As far as pinched saws the above post was my worst experience.
But this past summer I went to drop a 18" DBH yellow pine and despite the lean of the trunk in the direction I wanted it to fall, apparently the limb weight was wanting the tree to go across the neighbor's fence. The grandson and I detected this early on by watching closely and I started wedges. Finished the cut and couldn't get it to go over even though I considered the notch to be rather deep with a one inch hinge and the wedges were sunk. Put a 7/16" double braid Dacron rope pretty high up in it and pulled the tree down with the truck. But I will not always have that option? I may need one of those levers?
-
The worst I ever did was hang a little Poulan about 40 feet up in a silver maple I was dissassembling . The next smaller saw I had with me was a Stihl 042 to cut it loose with .While is's not a bad saw for ground work that's one heavy SOB hanging from a belt up in a tree .

Art PM me the price please. I just got to know. I cant find nothing like it here, yet.

Got my saw jammed between first and second logs in a 20" spruce. Spare saw was 20 minutes away and porter was on the other cutter. Miracle wedge had me out in 20 seconds. Paid for itself today.
-
Where and how much? Seems like a cool idea, especially for trail maintenance - easy to throw in a backpack and sure beats hiking back out of the woods to find another saw.
-
Where do you live? I sell them.
-
Wow. That looks useful!
I once had to leave my saw in a tree for almost a week because I had no extra saw or tools with me. I had to wait until a neighbour came home from some trip and then borrow his saw. He sure had a good laugh. :)
-
I live in Southern California ...where can I get one...on Ebay?
-
They are a Canadian product. Art had sent me one as a give away prize at the last Chainsaw GTG I attended.

Another thing to do if you get your saw pinched in a tree and you don't have this tool or a wedge try to take the saw off the bar...less money left out in the woods the better off you are.
-
Yep I have had to go save a few friends bars out of trees before the next day when they call.

I never got any time with it. I took it to a gtg at a friends in Ohio. Put all the names in the box and gave it away. As luck would have it. The kid drew my name out of the box. Figures. Because I never win anything.
I told the kid to draw another name even though I would have loved to own it. Member Andyshine aka Andre here won it next draw.

Can I get one of these?

I got a saw stuck felling a tree Monday. I should have known better that to try to fell a tree in the wind any way. that little tool wouldn't have worked because the whole bar and chain just barely got in the tree. But I have more than one saw now so I took the J red and cut the tree a couple of feet higher minding the wind and was able to extract the other saw.
When I was only a one saw guy I knew how to use a double bit axe to free standing stuck saw. Bucking was easy I just removed the bar and chain and left them got my second bar and chain and cut till I could remove the stuck bar and chain.
;D Al
