[UK-CONTEST] Rope Saw

[Clive Whelan]

Somewhat off topic, please excuse.


I need to prune a branch from a eucalyptus tree, which after the enormous
growth of the summer, fouls my Tennmast when cranking over. This branch is
at about 25ft, and is just out of range of the longest extending loppers I
can find from a ladder( as high as I dare negotiate), and my lumberjack
skills are not what they were ( on Wednesdays I go shopping, have clotted
cream for tea!)

There exists a device called a rope saw, which is a sort of hand chain saw
with rope extensions. One throws a rope over the limb, pulls the saw over ,
and with two people it makes short work of fairly substantial limbs. They
are very easy to buy in the U.S. but I cannot find a source in the U.K. for
love nor money. Anyone come across these things?
