Cold Creek LoggersCold Creek Loggers Made in USA Orange Spiked Tree Wedges for Tree Cutting Falling, Bucking, Felling Wedges Chainsaw Loggers Supplies, 3-5.5" and 3-8" Wedges Plus Free Storage Bag

My husband is experienced with cutting down large trees with his chain saw and metal wedge. So when a very large fir tree that was close to his shop died, he got his chain saw and metal wedge to cut it down. But his metal wedge got lodged into the tree and still didn’t fall the tree. So, we ordered this set of wedges (which arrived very quickly) and he was finally able to do the job.

We live on wooded property and had a couple of trees that I deemed to close for comfort to our home to be safe. I am not a trained lumber jack but I have observed enough and have cut a many trees successfully. We were able to take down a 12ft tall tree successfully and it was located less than 10ft away from our home so, it could have gone horribly wrong but, with using the wedges provided in the set we were able to make sure the tree went the right way down and it did!! I am not trying to tell just anyone to start cutting large trees down with these based on a review still ensure you check the growth direction of the tree as in lean up against the tree as your facing it and look up, which way does the tree seem to be going, also ensure there is little to no wind as that can change everything.

Bought these to take down a large water oak whose weight was slightly leaning toward a neighbor's house.Using these and a good come-along made the job safe and easy. I did use a heavy duty rubber mallet instead of a steel one just to make them last a little longer.Ordered another set to give to friend of mine.

i use these on many trees and they work very well

Have only had them out once but didn’t break or chip. Price is right if they don’t last, I’d buy them again.

I've had these for about two months now and have used them to fell standing tree as well as to cut up downed trees that were in difficult cutting positions. They're easy to insert and tap into the cut, and just as easy to remove or re-position. They stand up to pretty heavy-duty demands - I used them on a huge Knottty Pine with a trunk about 28 inches in diameter and they performed just as well as the 6-inch oak I did before that. The carrying bag is cheap crap and can be tossed out upon delivery - no one buys these things for the carrying bag anyway, I don't know they even bother! Anyway, a great product for a great price.

I’ve used this type before and I put a 2x4 board over the end when I set them in the tree. Hitting them with a small faced hammer can and will crack them so the board absorbs the impact. I have had another set of these and been using them for over five years.

The wedges seem well-built and solid. The reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the piece you squeeze to tighten up the bag arrived broken. It was split in half and the spring was loose.
