Chainsaw Protective Clothing

my boots also have a steel plate in the sole for extra protection.

I hate to add extra expense to your kit, but you really need chainsaw boots as well. If you catch yourself, it will be more likely be the side or top of your foot , not the toes, so steelies won't protect you.  Sorry  

Has the helmet got ear defenders?  You will need them  

Oh curses!!

My saw is electric and a lot quieter than petrol so usually I've just got the radio on headphones but the helmet does have defenders which are great with the petrol strimmer. I think my hearing never quite recovered from sitting by the stacks at a rock concert anyway

When my pal took down the ash tree in the walled garden he went up and cut off a number of branches before hitting the main trunk. So a tall tree in a confined space without touching the walls.

I don't think he'd have had it stuck in the tree next door

I made the tea!
