PruningClimbing

The Weaver pole saw scabbard is a rubberized sheath for carrying a pole saw head safely on your saddle or in the truck. It protects the blade's teeth and protects you, your rope and your gear from them.

Why a pole saw needs a scabbard

A pole saw blade is long, sharp and easy to bump into rope, gear or your leg when it is hanging unprotected. A scabbard keeps the teeth covered when you are moving through the canopy, sending the saw up or down, or tossing it in the truck. It also keeps the teeth sharp longer by stopping them from hitting other tools.

Climbers often hang a pole saw scabbard from the saddle so the pole saw stays within reach while they work out a limb. Compare other pole saws and scabbards for different blade lengths.

A rubberized scabbard flexes instead of cracking when it gets knocked around, and it stands up to rain and sap better than fabric. That makes it a good fit for crews who carry pole saws on the truck every day.

Fit and care

Check that the scabbard length and opening suit your pole saw blade before ordering. A blade that is too long will stick out, and one that is too short may slide around.

Knock out sawdust and debris regularly so the blade seats fully, and check the attachment hardware for wear. Keep the scabbard away from your climbing line and lanyard.

When sending a pole saw up to a climber on a line, keep the blade in the scabbard until it is in reach, and agree on clear signals with the ground crew before you start.
