Description
Overview:
The 5" High Impact Plastic Felling Wedge is a compact, durable wedge designed to keep the saw kerf open during back cuts, helping to prevent the tree from pinching the guide bar and reducing the chance of kickback. Made from tough, high-impact plastic, it is suitable for use with most petrol and electric chainsaws in forestry, arborist, and grounds maintenance work. At 5 inches (12.7 cm / 127 mm) long, it offers reliable lift and control for small to medium trees while remaining easy to carry in a pocket or tool belt. The tapered, chisel-shaped body drives smoothly into the cut, and the bright orange finish aids visibility on the forest floor. A practical, lightweight option for both professional and DIY users.
Key Features:
- High-impact plastic construction for durability and long service life
- 5" length (12.7 cm / 127 mm) for controlled lifting in felling and bucking
- Tapered profile for easy insertion and steady, progressive lift
- Lightweight design for reduced carry weight and quick handling
- Bright orange colour for high visibility in leaf litter and low light
- Textured surfaces provide extra grip in the cut to help resist backing out
- Non-metallic wedge is kinder to chains than steel if accidental contact occurs
- Moisture-resistant material will not swell, rust, or corrode
- Suitable for use with most chainsaws and standard forestry tools (axe or mallet)
- Compact size allows use in pairs for added lift on larger stems
Typical Applications:
Used during tree felling to hold the back cut open and guide the fall in the intended direction. Helps prevent guide bar pinch when felling, sectioning, or bucking stems and logs. Useful for arborists, forestry workers, landscapers, and domestic users tackling garden trees, storm-damaged timber, or firewood processing.
Also known as:
Forestry wedge, timber felling wedge, bar saver wedge, polymer felling wedge, plastic forestry wedge, chainsaw kerf wedge, lifting wedge for felling.
