Saw in my leg

[TheBeard603]

Thanks for posting this. Ive just started working with saws full time and Im looking at upgrading my PPE from the company issued chaps. Im thinking about buying the Clogger Zero's. Would you buy these again after your experience? For refferance I've been issued a 372 for my full time work saw. Thanks again for posting this.

I’ve already ordered another pair. They seriously saved my leg. They did exactly what they were supposed to do.

I’ll second the Zeros, and recommend purchasing yours from the Gap Arborist Supply.

I typically will order them wherever I can find a discount.

It’s truly just a scratch. I keep antibiotic ointment on it and cover it with a bandaid.

“It’s just a flesh wound.” I’d be trying to work this quote into the conversation whenever I had the chance.

Been almost in your situation. I have to turn on the unsocial, in my own space switch until the saw isn't spinning. Spastic, rushing, rapidly talkative personality people and chainsaw worksites don't mix. That said, you were more validly pressed into a distraction. Tough to juggle everything sometimes.

Is it a crime or 6 of one half dozen of the other? Think cut and chuck but on the ground, you control the piece vs don't bend over, cut the branch with the longer bar tip but it might kick around upon release. I'm sure we've all had the chain kick something into our shins at one time or another doing ground work. Sometimes the grass seems greener no matter which one you happen to be using at the time.

I dunno. Just my 2 cents.

My apologies for the delay in replying, I would be more than happy to answer any questions anyone has as regards chainsaw protection. Here is some light reading on some of the more technical aspects of the various chainsaw protection standards and how the testing is done https://blog.goclogger.com/the-clogger-guide-to-global-chainsaw-protection-standards/
