Weaver Chainsaw Lanyard with Snap

The Weaver chainsaw lanyard with snap is a straightforward saw strap that tethers a top-handle saw to your saddle. Weaver has built climbing saddles and lanyards for decades, and this is the simple, durable option for climbers who want no moving parts.

Simple and durable

Not every climber wants a retractable or elastic saw lanyard. A fixed strap with a snap is easy to inspect, cheap to replace and has nothing to jam with sawdust or bar oil. Clip the snap to the saw's lanyard ring and the other end to your saddle, and the saw is always attached.

Set the length so the saw hangs clear of your knees and your climbing system. If you want something that pulls the saw back in, compare our other chainsaw lanyards.

A fixed strap also suits new climbers who want to learn good saw handling habits without extra gadgets: set the brake, let it hang, keep it clear of the rope. Many experienced climbers keep one as a backup in the gear bag in case a retractable lanyard fails mid-job.

Use and inspection

Attach it only to a saddle point meant for a saw or tools, never to your bridge, lanyard rings or climbing line. Put the chain brake on before you let the saw hang, and keep the bar pointed away from your rope.

Check the strap and stitching for cuts, oil damage and chain nicks, and make sure the snap still closes fully. Retire it at the first sign of real damage. Saw work aloft is for trained climbers working within ANSI Z133.
