One-Handed Chainsaw Harness Clip

"Yes! Lanyard and power transfer in one.

Maybe even ability to adjust/orientate the handle to bar angle for most ergonomic use. Add a slick (fore) arm brace that gives more leverage to your arm instead of wrist that makes one handing safer. Maybe the brake is now in the wrist."

Now that's thinkin' outside the box right there!!! Love it!

I've always thought lightsabers would work really well...
 
Yeah, I can't say I would like to wear a giant battery on my back, just to make the saw in my hand slightly lighter than my MS 150t... But I have to say I was amazed there was such a thing out there and I had never heard of it.
 
I've been using the Shembiner for the last 10 days and it's great. Haven't lost a saw yet and I heard there's a YouTube vid where the creator demonstrates how the chainsaw can't come off no matter how you orientate yourself in the tree.
 
I just put a paddle biner on the small wire ring of my 201, easy on off to a caritool/shembiner/ gear loops. The ring on a lanyard leaves the saw hanging way too low for my liking.

Those dmm vaults look super sexy, cant wait to get rid of my caritools... Although having the option just to break them when things get stuck, and you get frustrated is nice.
 
I used to connect the ring on my saw lanyard to a snap on my harness. Last year I swung across a spreading oak and as I landed I used my right hand to brace myself. Sure enough my saw swung around and the bar smashed into my knuckles. I managed to bandage myself up fine in the tree but the second half of that tree sucked donkey dick. My groundie yelled up that it would never have happened if I was using a Husqy (a cheeky reference to the small attachment point at the back of Husqy saws that holds the unit close to the harness).

I become obsessed with finding a fast, secure, one handed operational attachment that would stow tight to my harness. I tried a bunch of different setups but this is by far my favourite.

I've been using this setup, along with a Shembiner, since September. I know it's a redneck hack, but I'm so freakin happy with it. I got the Shembiner for around $20 and the Kunny hammer holster for $10. Provides a big honking bar to quickly slam into the Shembiner.

How did you secure the leather to the saw?

I folded the leather in half at the base of the belt slot, then I ran a zip tie through the belt slot and through the casing for the saw. I zip tied the other end in such a way that it pulls against the leather attachment but tried to reduce the amount of torque on the little clip at the rear of the saw. I couldn't figure out a way to incorporate duct tape. Does that make sense? o_O

I like the look of it, I think I'll try this out as well. I'm thinking JB weld the metal bracket straight to the bottom of the saw. I will have a lanyard on the saw as well, so if the JB fails, the lanyard will still catch it. thanks for the idea
 
I've been in construction for a good part of my life. I always saved my hammer holders and drilled out the rivets, saving the metal hanger. Easy to screw them to a shop wall or side of a wooden dump. Great for broom and rake storage.

That's a good idea. I was even thinking a plate with a similar bracket welded on would work.
