Pro sizer...measuring firewood

So does anyone have any experience with one of these? The ad came up on my computer after buying some rigging rope.

I've just always used the magnetic rod that you stick on your bar.

Most guys don't have much trouble cutting wood to the desired length. I don't see the laser as being accurate unless perfectly perpendicular to the wood.

use a mingo marker or stick on rod if you need a gadget.

 

Or you can just use a tape measure and mark with kid's sidewalk chalk....

 

It would be something else for me to forget to put batteries in.

Yeah, I don't use anything but my logging tape and either a crayon or chalk for other people. I eyeball all my stuff, but being a builder 16 inches is locked in my eye fairly well. Thought it was interesting what lengths folks will go to.

 

Especially considering the bar makes a dandy tape measure.

 

Yes to this , cheap and works every time

 

Gadget's somebody is always thinking of something !! I just do not believe there is not a app for cell phones to measure firewood yet I may have to buy a cell phone when that comes out

 

Cheapo tape measure and some upside down paint. Takes very little time and allows me to have a good look at the log, cutting out stuff that will be a pain to split/stack.

 

Well it's got a "lazer" on it.



It would just be one more electrical thing that doesn't work when I'd need it.

 

I just put a few lines on my bar with a permenant marker. Also got a mingo marker but dont use it too much anymore.

 

I would never use it. Tape and chalk is how I do it. Not to mention it’s 70$.

 

I saw these a while ago, I'm interested. $70 is a little high. I would think the battery would last quite a while, basically a laser sight for a gun. There whole using the saw bar works, but that's so much extra wasted movement rotating the saw 90°. I would think of you keep the saw level with the log, it should give really consistent spots to cut at.

 

Tom I think there was a member in the thread about this tool on opeforum who did use a laser gun sight and saved a few bucks. Some googling might turn it up.

 

I was thinking a 1911 rail and a cheap laser sight would do the same. Then you could also add a weapon light, maybe some BUIS, and a grenade launcher. Lol

 

I like it just mount the 1911 to the saw and you have a dual purpose home defense “tool”

seriously though here’s the picture:


From post #17 here:

Firewood ProSizer Laser Firewood Measuring Tool

personally I really like my acumark magnetic measurement tool.

 

That's what I use. The 16" model.

I sprung for the adjustable model but use it at 16” mostly.
