The bushmans throwline and throwbag!

Eric Frei · 19th September 2007, 07:09 PM

Well, done a job on a horse stud today.

Was fun, customer had a tractor with cable to do some trees. I asked how he intended to get the cable up the tree?

Oh, I throw this up there, goes great and doesn't get stuck to often.

Steve Tipton · 19th September 2007, 07:58 PM

He's not even using the old standby, 8oz snapper sinker! Hope he's not near the roof or windows.

TrevMcRev · 20th September 2007, 10:44 PM

The shifter! ......... Is there anything it cant do????

Actually i hate the things. Probly a better use for it than trying to undo a bolt.

newguy18 · 9th January 2008, 02:45 PM

and to think I'm still using a monkeys fist when I could use that.

shaggs · 9th January 2008, 10:16 PM

Shifter???? Isn't it a hammer???

Therrin · 10th January 2008, 09:46 PM

I was gonna rag on that thing, but then I realized that I just effectively built the back yard hillbillys throwline and bag. Guess I really should keep my mouth shut

Yeah but Ken, yours would seem to have more......."muzzle velocity"!

TreeDimensional · 11th January 2008, 07:14 AM

You know, stuck 25' up in a tree is a GREAT place for those metric wrenches.

Therrin · 11th January 2008, 12:21 PM

In these parts, those wrenches are commonly called a "mexican toolbox"

no joke. It's funny watching the FNG on a site, someone says "hand me that mexican toolbox" and the kid's lookin at toolboxes sayin "...dammit, which one's the mexican one"

Hammer was "Knockometer"

newguy18 · 11th January 2008, 04:03 PM

arborjockey · 13th January 2008, 02:05 AM

Why does that hammer have a hole in the middle of it ?

newguy18 · 13th January 2008, 02:13 AM

I can't tell if your joking or not but that isn't a hammer.

Its for driving hollow nails

TreeDimensional · 13th January 2008, 04:34 PM

Yeah, its funny until the ground guy tosses it to ya when the wedge has fallen out, the tree to settles back and the three foot bar is stuck in the backcut, your holding the saw and the hammers 3 feet away. What do you do, give him the LOOK, LAUGH, or FIRE him on the spot. I prefer the LOOK.

StrictlyPalms · 14th January 2008, 04:08 AM

I use that item to keep my Emergency brake up on my 74 VW Thing (safari).
