Stump Vise

Been getting asked about XMas. Was thinking of getting a stump vise. Useful, any one better than another?

 

Yes, no.

 

I think I'll use it. Not really for field use I just like to sit outside to file weather permitting.

 

They're nice for maintenance touch ups/light filing every 3-4 tanks of fuel (or what ever you need) out in the woods. If you rock a chain and really have to work it, they can be a little unsteady for heavy filing.

 

That pretty much describes my needs. I sharpen just about that often and am cutting 2-3 cords a year plus yard cleanup so not very demanding. I have a fixed vise if needed.

 

Useful, yes. It comes in real handy when you want to touch up a chain in the field.

 

Never thought about one that much. Bought one last year, never file without it now.

 

I had one once.

Where did it end up, Grizzly Adam?

 

I think it ended up with Sinngetreu

 

I used mine a few times, but I found my tail gate mounted vise much much much more versatile and useful.

 

I have an older Stihl vise . I have used the crap out of it ! I have beat on it....still ready to go .
Great idea...since my saws often cut dirty wood !
So......yes...you need this lol

 

I just added one to an order from Amazon last week. I tossed it in my cutting field box last night, it seems like it'll be handy to have if I need to touch up a chain and can't get to a vise.

 

Very handy indeed !

 

Works better in the butt end of a log or Stump.....but is versatile !!!

 

My bad didn't spell check

 

I use the hell out of mine love it
