48" Buckingham Tear-Away Chainsaw Lanyard
The Buckingham Tear-Away Chainsaw Lanyard is a smart safety solution for arborists who carry a chainsaw in the tree. Its bungee design eliminates excess slack while climbing — the lanyard contracts to keep the saw close and out of the way — but stretches to a full arm's length when you need to reach and work. No more tangled saw dangling below you.
The real standout feature is the tear-away (break-away) design: if the saw becomes lodged or snagged, the lanyard releases at 200 lbs of force rather than keeping the saw connected to your saddle. This critical safety feature can prevent a dangerous situation from becoming a catastrophic one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a break-away design important?
If a chainsaw becomes lodged in a cut or snagged on a branch while you're climbing, a standard lanyard keeps the saw attached to your saddle — which can pull you off balance or trap you. The tear-away design releases the connection at 200 lbs of force, freeing you from the saw before the situation becomes dangerous.
