Arborist Tree Wedges

Logging and felling wedges are practical tools used in tree cutting, timber work, firewood processing, and forestry operations. Wedges can help maintain an open saw kerf, reduce the chance of a chainsaw bar becoming pinched, and assist trained users in controlling movement during certain tree-felling operations. They can also be useful when bucking logs or working with timber that places pressure on a cut. Different sizes and styles allow users to choose wedges appropriate for the job and the material being cut.

Our Wedges category is intended for loggers, arborists, forestry workers, landowners, firewood cutters, and experienced chainsaw users. Wedges should be selected and used according to their intended purpose and manufacturer instructions. Inspect wedges regularly for cracks, excessive mushrooming, chips, or other damage, and replace damaged equipment. Tree felling is hazardous and requires proper training, planning, protective equipment, escape routes, and awareness of tree lean, wind, surrounding obstacles, and other conditions. A wedge is a useful tool, but it does not replace proper felling knowledge or safe chainsaw practices.
