I've wanted one for my paintgun, why not for Twinkle (the saw)? Anybody out there got an ice axe attachment that can be hooked to the saw and used for self-arrest (the mountain kind, not the law kind) when climbing and slipping on road cutbanks and there is no suitable brush for vegetation belays? Pictures would be appreciated!:popcorn:


april fools kind of sort of.

Not a baaaaddd idea. Maybe one of our enterprising big dawg fabricators could design a pair of oversized PNW dawgs with the bottom one reversed, facing rearward like. Or maybe just a vertical spike pointing downward? It would also work to keep the saw in place on a slope.

April 1st back attacha..........................sorta:cheers:

Perhaps a chinstrap and cup for your logging helmet.....with a spike on the bottom of the chin cup.

That way when you slip and fall on your face you will be held onto the slope by the chin-spike . (Just remember never to look down while you are wearing it or the spike will end up in your chest).
