Timber Savage 5.5 Inch Felling Wedge Chain Saw Logging Supplies Set of 4

Quite expensive, but works perfectly.

Not sure what the folks are doing that have said they were destroyed in one day. Are they using them in place of metal splitting wedges? I just got these and used them for bucking up a 24" white oak that was laying on uneven ground and they worked great. For any of these plastic wedges you tap them in until they are snug....you don't beat on them with a sledgehammer like you would with a metal splitting wedge. Also for the folks saying they are too small....the dimensions were clearly listed....not sure why you are complaining about that either.

Nice price, nice size and you don't have to worry as much about actually getting them INTO the job and making it so much more reliable to put the tree where you want it. For pros, they've got the training and experience but for those of us that just have the occasional tree that has to come down (and NOT on the fence) it surprised me how much I've come to rely on these.I know I'm not using them properly all the time, but they even come in handy when I'm bucking them. Sometimes you'd swear you knew which way the pressure was going, but all too often I'd get the bar pinched. So, use these when you just don't have the time to rescue your saw and they make things a lot easier.

These are plastic felling wedges what can I say about them? There is not much that can go wrong.The plastic is hard, and should be durable. I took down a tree a few weeks ago that I had a very small area that I wanted it to fall through, so I wedged it to encourage it to fall the right way. These worked very well. The small spikes on the flat of the wedge keep them from backing out on their own. You can see in the photos that the back of a few of them have been marked by my sledge. I am not sure how long these would last in a professional environment. I assume that the back end would eventually flare out with repeated pounding, but for the homeowner these will last a long time. One of the other photos shows why you should always use a plastic wedge vs. a metal one for felling. I nicked the corner of the wedge with my chainsaw and took the tip of the wedge off. This is acceptable and worked exactly like it should have. Metal wedges and chainsaws don't go well together. Keep in mind that they are only 5.5 inches, so don't be surprised by their size.

I may have been duped, and you may be as well if you, like me bought these wedges because they were "made in the U.S.A.". Sales pitch on Amazon says they're "made in U.S.A.", is even stamped so on online product, what I recieved is not stamped with any country of origin, nor is it listed on the minimal packaging (plastic bag with stick on label). If it matters to you, I would check before ordering.

These make tree felling and log bucking much easier and safer. They are very handy when cutting up a downed log. Pounding one into the saw cut once I’m half way through the log has virtually eliminated chain pinch.
