Memento posted:Yep, chainsaw chaps. I was clearing a deadfall tree from a country road in the early 2000s with a chainsaw, and I had chaps and a face mask on. I had no mobile reception and was more than 20km away from the nearest person. Cutting a ~30" diameter Oak trunk wearing assless chaps, and a mask. Hit something, and the saw kicked back and nailed my right shoulder. The saw was an older Homelite with no anti-kickback hardware at all. I got real lucky in that when it kicked, I let off the throttle, and the chain was only spinning from its inertia. Tore a nice hole in my jacket. REAL lucky.

I used to do some work in the mid to late 90s for a company involved with the Stihl Timbersports series. They had promotional stuff for those saw stop chaps, but said the guys in the competition refused to use that stuff because of the damage it would do to their custom saws. Same with the axe guys and steel toed boots and whatnot.

You'd think those guys would be looking for excuses to make/buy even cooler custom saws.

Platystemon posted:They’re ineffective with electric chainsaws, which cannot stall out. They don't stall the saw in all cases (like the one posted). They jam the clutch. They're definitely not as effective on electric saws, which make more torque the slower they spin, but they're not completely ineffective. I haven't seen an official report, but there sure is a lot of "chaps won't stop an electric saw" scuttlebutt. Cartoon Man posted:https://i.imgur.com/h8tGcdL.mp4 That's a small (maybe 61cc) saw at not-full RPM. Husqvarna branded pants I think, and made more for mobility and comfort than high-end protection. I think they're Class 1's, based on the 20m/s sticker. Primarily aimed at climbers and lighter saws. I wear Labonville full-wraps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEt0Fl1cosw That's a serious saw, at full RPM. No cut-through. They're hot, heavy, and not for climbing at ALL. However, they'll save my leg if I gently caress up with my 262XP. sharkytm fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Feb 20, 2020 |

Did they even understand the difference between "broken saw and nicked leg" versus "slashed inner thigh, minutes to live without a tourniquet?"

Unless there was a person under there that they needed to rescue right that second that seems dumb as gently caress.

SpaceCadetBob posted:Unless there was a person under there that they needed to rescue right that second that seems dumb as gently caress. An overturned vehicle is always a risk of fluid leakages, and the more you delay with obstacle clearance the more the traffic gets jammed, which in itself can delay a lift truck from reaching the place.

taqueso posted:Could you recommend something reasonably priced and effective for use with a small gas saw, for someone that uses a chainsaw a handful of times a year? I'm guessing probably not full-wrap, but also not not full-wrap if that's very important. Class 1 pants, either Husqy or Stihl. Every arborist here wears them. Plenty thick enough to stop a top handle or homeowner saw, comfy, flexible, and like $100. Expensive, yes, but that's two pairs of Carhartt pants, and what's your femoral artery worth? You'll likely have them for a decade, especially if you aren't running a saw a lot. My chaps are overkill for most things, but I run non-homeowner chain and a reasonably big saw. I used to cut a lot more wood, but those days are behind me. Mostly I run my Echo CS-440 these days. The 262XP only comes out for big oaks or after storms sharkytm fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Feb 21, 2020 |
