Looks like it works well but I don't like being anywhere close to the tree when it falls, let alone under it looking down at a lever I'm pulling on. Seen to many dead or broken limbs fall out of a tree when it shifts a little. Know a guy who died when that happened and the limb hit him in the head.

^^^^
You definitely need to check out trees thoroughly prior to doing any cutting and respect your limitations. I had 3 large birch taken down by a logger earlier this year because I thought they were way to much and dangerous for me to attempt.
I've had several 6-8" leaning trees that I couldn't fit a wedge in that I think this tool might help. The hunting guys would be looking at live trees to cut so I thought this might work but. Is there a danger of the hinge popping this tool back at the you when it pops open?

I don't have so many that it's a big deal anyway. There are some doozies on the federal land though. Those limbs seems to fall before they even look dead and rotted. |
