Ring and Ring Bungee Chainsaw Lanyard

This ring and ring bungee chainsaw lanyard has a ring at each end, so you choose how it connects to your saw and saddle. The bungee body stretches when you reach and pulls the saw back in when it hangs.

Why rings on both ends

Rings let you build the setup you want. Add a snap at the saddle end and a small carabiner at the saw, or girth one ring to a tool loop. You can swap connectors without replacing the whole lanyard.

The bungee keeps the saw close when you let go and gives you reach when you cut. That combination cuts down on snags in tight canopies. Compare other styles in chainsaw lanyards.

Because the rings are separate from the connectors, you can match each end to the job. Some climbers use a larger connector at the saddle for gloved hands and a smaller one on the saw so it does not bang into the controls.

Setup and inspection

Attach the saddle end to a tool point and the saw end to the saw's tie ring or a saw strap. Never connect a saw lanyard to your life-support system.

Check the bungee for lost stretch, cuts or muffler burns, and the rings for wear. Replace the lanyard once it stops pulling the saw back in reliably.

Check that the connectors you add are closed and seated in the rings before each climb. Keep the lanyard away from the muffler and store it out of sun and heat when it is not in use, since bungee breaks down over time.
