Rope Chain Saw Rocks,

August 11, 2008

By GerryK

from Rogers, AR

"I love this saw. I do occasional tree trimming especially to remove storm damage. At 51 years old I don't climb trees as well as I used to. Being able to cut limbs that are up high without being up high with a chainsaw has been a big plus. This saw cuts very quickly and does not require a lot of strength. Thank you Northern Tool for carrying such a useful tool."

Professional High Limb Rope Chain Saw,

August 29, 2010

By rdmjone

"I like this rope saw alright. I couldn't believe how fast and easy it cuts. For the money, its made well enough. It was easy to learn to use it. It cuts through small limbs unbelievably fast and good. My only problem is constantly getting it snagged in the cut in big limbs. Maybe my teqnique is wrong and its not the saws fault. I've not used it very long. For now, climbing high in the trees to get it unsnagged is a real pain.But still, it does help having it to use."

A handy little saw,

August 23, 2010

By JohnJIII

from Pennsylvania

"Had my doubts about this prior to purchasing, however it has done all it claims it can. I found it great for triming some large tree limbs from around the house and business without climbing up the tree."

Takes a bit of pratice to use properly,

"Just started using this product. Takes a bit of practice. It did get bound up several times. I actually bent the chain trying to pull it out after it got stuck."

Best high brach cutting tool for the money,

July 21, 2010

By victorb

from NY Hudson Valley

"I am no professional but do a lot of tree work around my house and my in-law's house. I have many high quality bow saws, chainsaws and even a large assortment of Jameson arborist poles/attachments. With all of this I still would find myself scratching my head trying to figure out how to easily get to some high branches and this rope saw fills that niche perfectly. When working in tight places (i.e. between houses or other valuable things) it is always better to take a tree down in pieces instead of trying 'one fell swoop' and this rope saw allows you to get to the high difficult branches while staying safely on the ground.

The only draw back is that sometimes the chain gets caught-up in the cut but I think this should be expected and can usually be remedied by releasing 1 side and pulling wide on the other.

I have used it 8 times in the last few months since I got it and each time it saved my lots of time and effort. I recommend using something like the Jameson BigShot for targeting the branch with the throw weight.

I wish I had gotten something like this years ago."

Works well only in specific cases,

June 3, 2010

By bob322

from Coventry CT

"There are times when this tool is the only option, but it is not easy to use. The picture shows the use of the tool in a situation where it will work very well- namely cutting off a short end of a limb. But if the limb is large and heavy, invariably the tool will get bound during the process and often I have had to go get a ladder to remove it. The best approach is to cut sections off two to four feet at a time to make the branch lighter. Then it will not bind the chain as much and you can overpower it. However, in terms of getting excercise, this tool is great. Cutting off an average size limb must burn at least 600 calories, and thats a good thing."

Rope Chain Saw,

June 1, 2010

By AWoods

from Woods of NC

"Works well once you get chain aligned over the limb. For big limbs helps to have two people working the saw to keep it from binding."

Rope Chain Saw,

May 26, 2010

By MaineGuy

from The woods of Maine

"I bought this rope saw to help take down a large poplar tree that had broken off in the wind and then wedged itself around two other trees. I had to add some extension ropes since the limbs that I wanted to cut were so high off the ground. That worked OK to make the cuts, but the limbs were too large in diameter for the saw and the forces acting on the limb from the tree it was leaning on caused the saw to become stuck. When I finally took down the entire tree, with a chainsaw and puller, I was able to retrieve the stuck saw. The saw was not at fault. This is a helpful tool. Just realize that this saw should be used on limbs that are only a few inches in diameter and if the angle of the saw is not correct (and sometimes it cannot be, because of other limbs, etc.) it might become stuck."

Stay off the ladder,

February 16, 2010

By Mike6

from Lucas, TX

"Very handy saw. was able to clear an entire tree line in 1 afternoon. Best part was not standing at the top of the ladder with a chainsaw or bowsaw. The weight could be heavier - I added some weight so that it came back down faster/easier."

Rope chain saw,

February 15, 2010

By bronco74

from howell,nj

"I had to cut a dead limb from a big oak tree. It was 10" round. It also was about 30' in the air. I had to add some rope to make the extra distance to the limb. The saw worked perfect. It cut it quickly and easy. I saved hundreds of dollars not having to have a tree service come in to cut it."
