Weaver Coil Bungee Chainsaw Lanyard

The Weaver coil bungee chainsaw lanyard keeps a saw attached to your saddle while you climb. The coil stays short when the saw hangs and stretches out when you raise it to cut.

Why a coil

A straight bungee lanyard can hang in a loop that catches on stubs and your own lanyard. A coiled lanyard pulls itself back into a tight spring when the saw is hanging, so there is less cord flopping around. It still stretches far enough to reach a cut overhead or out on a limb.

Connect the saddle end to a tool ring and the saw end to the saw's lanyard eyelet with a closed connector or the supplied hardware. Check that the saw cannot hang low enough to contact your legs, lanyard, or climbing line.

Inspection

Coils can tangle if stored loose. Hang the lanyard or clip it short when it goes in the gear bag. Retire it when the coil loses its spring or the cord is cut or abraded. More options are in our chainsaw lanyards section.

Coiled lanyards work best with light to mid-size top-handle saws. With a heavier saw the coil stretches farther when it hangs, so check the hanging length on the ground before you go up.

A saw lanyard is not life support and is never a tie-in point. Run your saw to the manufacturer's instructions, wear your PPE, and follow ANSI Z133 for aloft saw work.
