    Thank you whoever my Santa was. It was a 6 pack of felling wedges. Three larger and three small. Which was an excellent choice because I was needing more as the few I had were getting pretty destroyed, and I also was looking to buy some earlier this year but never did.
    Also got a small pen light style rechargeable stream light. I will post a pic at some point soon. Thanks again Santa!

    It was printed way too low. The saw on the left printing is into the pocket.

    The print was much fainter than the correct one too.

    Especially when your rural. My Amazon prime is never what most people get. It's about 5 days for me when I pay for prime. That's why I cut my membership almost two years ago. I sign up at Christmas for a free trial to get faster delivery cause otherwise it's 12+ days. Also curious if it gets better but it hasn't. So I will cancel again . Years ago prime use to come in 2-3 days but those days are long gone.

    Great gift. I have a couple I don't use often but they have been bitten by the saw a few times.

    I destroyed mine pretty good beating on them and useing them to wedge the rear tire beads off the rim on my tractor this summer. Not their intended use but worked and got my beads off the tire which had been seated for like 12 years.

    I don't use them often either but good to stop pinch or when I fell a random tree to keep it from sitting back down. And yea mine have been bit by the chain a few times as well .

    I had one in a kerf to stop a pinch while cutting a couple weeks ago. Lifted the saw and while the chain was still moving it contacted the wedge. It shot it out so fast I spent five minutes searching for it and the guy I was helping found it several yards away the following week under one of his trucks.:emb:

    Why I usually make mine out of 2x4s so they can be single use and disposed of in the woods. Plus I've been known to pound the chit out of them when felling a tree.
