ByteTyte Chainsaw Scabbard

[PinnaclePete]

I also posted in the Storage Forum, but wanted as much input as possible...

I'm thinking of carrying these in my Arborist Supply stores and wanted to get some input from users. They are all aluminum in 16 - 30" bars, can be mounted on ATVs, trucks, tractors, bed racks, etc. in a variety of configurations or with 45 and 90* mounts. An internal plate tightens down onto the bar to hold securely and the saw can be locked with separate cable/lock. The 24" scabbard retails for $ 73 with Lifetime warranty, made in WA USA. Any input would be appreciated, but I like them alot and will probably be a distributor here in the Mid-south.

���� well now that I've read your idea thru and I see there are locks involved so that no one can sneak into camp and play ( Texas chainsaw massacre) lol. ......I think it's a great idea !!!! How much will they cost ???

I have been looking for a way to carry my chainsaw when I need to.

Is leaving the power head exposed to rain going to hurt the saw?

Hmmmm I use my chainsaws in the rain at times ..

Mounted one of these on the storage box of my Hallmark. Great scabbard. I just put a semi-waterproof (i.e. stays dry for the first 5 minutes) sack over it and a bicycle cable to lock it down. Keeping the heavy rain off is probably best, but a little moisture won't be bad, assuming you maintain it. (we do get a little rain up here the PNW)

Great, thanks for the input and pic. Had a customer ask about them the other day and think I'll start carrying these in my stores. They retail for $50 to 80 depending on length. Thanks again...

You could always have a neoprene cover made too, similar to what they sell for Hi-Lifts.

Million dollar product idea, maybe?

Probably wouldn't hold up well...this is not only to protect the bar but to secure it to your vehicle of choice. I just sell other people's million dollar ideas :ylsmoke:

I think he meant over the power head. It's a great idea.

Correct, ByteTyte on the bar and neoprene cover on the powerhead.
