Buying guide
Starter kit or launcher
A starter kit is the easiest way to begin: matched weights and arborist throw line with a cube that folds open for tangle-free deployment. A launcher uses a pole and band to send the weight much higher than a hand throw, which helps on tall trees. Launchers need care: clear the area, wear eye protection, keep everyone out of the line of fire, and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
What comes in a kit
A starter throw line kit typically includes one or two throw weights, a length of arborist throw line and a storage cube or bag. Some include a second line for setting two lines at once. Pick a kit with weights you will actually use and a line that suits your trees. Launchers like the Big Shot use a pole-mounted band to propel the weight. Inspect launcher bands and line for wear, and replace worn parts before they fail.
Keep the kit together in its bag so the cube, weights and line are ready on every job.
Common questions
Do I need a launcher?
For most trees a hand throw is enough. A launcher helps on very tall trees or when you need to hit a precise high crotch.
