Has anyone experienced any problems with the lanyard ring breaking on the 200T?

rahtreelimbs said:Was that a drop that hit the ground or a drop that the lanyard would have caught?
Not through normal usage. Had one break also when it hit the ground but I've dropped my saw onto my lanyard hundreds of times with no problems yet.rahtreelimbs said:Has anyone experienced any problems with the lanyard ring breaking on the 200T?

That was the last time I let my guys rely on that ring. Every climbing saw we own now, which are all MS200t's, have a strap with a ring attached. that way I know its not going anywhere.

rahtreelimbs said:Ok...where are you attaching the strap???
John464 said:to backside of the handle.
no it chokes on there get a bungee strap from buck choke it to the handle and start living it up, they come with a snap or ring, kinda like country or westernrahtreelimbs said:That has to make it hard to handle the saw.
I was thinking of using some small throwline to secure the lanyard ring to the top-handle!!!
