200T lanyard ring... does everyone trust em?

sure looks pretty flimsy. so do you attach lanyard to stihl 200T's factory lanyard ring or to handle?

Yeah, totally trustworthy, will hold in there better than a politician a week after election.

I havent had one fail.

+1, I have an 020 & that ring has never failed me!! of course my non-locking snap has!! even though the saw has suffered maybe 3-4 falls its stihl running!!!!!


LXT...........

+1. I use a couple of 200´s, and no problems.

Never had or seen one fail and I've been around those saws for 5 years but I know what ya mean, they just look chinsy!

No problems with the ring...
I've had a second hand 020t on a bungee lanyard (Buckingham) for four years, its been dropped, and yanked, along with the regular hanging by the lanyard... ring is just fine.

Boy, your lanyard really is bungee cord!!! I'd be a bit leery of it bouncing back if the saw gets yanked out of your hands as can sometimes happen when dropping a heavy limb with a step cut.

An easily broken lanyard is best so it doesn't try to drag you out of the tree in a case like that...

I use a chain screw link attached to the end of a bungee lanyard so I can disconnect it from the saw easily and not have the lanyard always on the saw.
