Was trying to find the Silvy / Borntrager tree jacks to show someone who thought some (very professional) German tree cutters were yahoos for using a jack...

And I found this...thing.

At 1:30 in.

Am I missing something that actually makes anything about this a good idea?

Stalpen is my favoritt ! Hawe tried others but not AS Good .. faster and safer than vedges. I got two of them. Use it all the time.
