Yeah, me too. Had another person move into the house and work is on a low swing so I'm out canvasing the neighborhood in "spare" time aside from being daddy at home. The vid is falling low on the list of daily priorities lately. Sorry guys.

Looks hilarious but the print is too small to read...

Marinating.

Hah! Pleased to meet you Chris, I'm Aaron. I have a window of "free time" tomorrow, we'll see what happens. :thumbup:

Believe whatever you will, makes no difference to me. I can understand a healthy screen of skepticism but to believe the anti-thesis of every proposition is the road to madness. I'm still around and very busy. When I can take a moment to shoot a vid, I'll get Maui in the shot. I'm an arborist...

If you have tried Gomboy's "two handed" folding saw, the Longboy and were extremely disappointed with the blade rigidity as I was, then I have the ultimate solution for you: Take a Silky or ARS blade and pole head, and shape a pony saw handle to fit in the pole hole. These blades are very rigid...

:dontknow: While one could certainly give you more specs about the tool itself...what would they know about it's uses in tree business? I've met a few mountain/rock climbers that think tree climbing is for kids. If I'm still a kid at heart and able to climb/trim trees like my boss was doing...

Well then by popular and admin request, I'll get 'er dun in the next few days!

For you, I will compose one. :thumbup:

Now that's just crazy! :goodluck: With a moderate swing, I can bury the point of this thing into wood far enough to make it extremely difficult to remove. Coastal, salt cured ironwood and keawe (mesquite) is an exception. Taking the corner off the blade bevel would increase it's penetration...

It'll be a week at best to get a vid up, but I will work on it! Very busy in the mean time. The efficiency is that it turns all types of branch/limb/trunk holds into the same contoured hand hold, that I no longer need to repeatedly open, close and adjust my hand grip/position to navigate. It...

I totally understand. But a triple grip, ice/rock/wood/anything climbing hooker rated as cat 2 PPE made in Italy, is a happy hooker! Adding the nose guard to mine eliminated all cut/puncture worry. I can ascend with confidence and instantly hook/sit/rest whenever I want to. Ripping/smashing...

Another great use for the Monster X or similar tool is on horizontal limbs/branches over roofs. The majority of my jobs are residential and enviably, the home owner builds their house under a tree then wants it cut down! If there is a higher limb to pull and lower from, great, but what if...

Looked him up....thanks for the compliment. Hah! :P If I can't find a thing, I make a thing. Wait till you get a load of my next invention: The "Batsaw." :|:

Had to look that up, pretty cool tool! Might have to fab my own... Found something there I'm definitely going to order: https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=105&item=1287 A nylon pant belt with a V-ring attachment point. This plus my Monster X and daisy chain combo =...
