Product works well in smaller tress, I used in up to 18” trees. Have larger wedges on hand for larger tress.

Poor quality.I know these are not splitting wedges, but they both broke the first use. About half of the front edge broke off with 2 taps with a small hatchet. The other one survived 4 taps. I bought these to un-pinch the chainsaw. I had them 4 months before I used them the first time, so i cannot return them. I don't blame Amazon for the policy, but i am very disappointed in the quality of the product

I tried these 5" versions based upon another review, they are perfect and for the size trees I can handle, they're a better choice than the longer ones. Posted a picture from the beginning of the process on a 35' pine. I really like the plastic, they're light and they work. I'm just a homeowner with an occasional need to safely take out a tree without paying the $1,200 minimum charged locally. The posted pic is of a tree I had to cut through about 15' off the ground because there wasn't enough room for the tree to fall without taking out the neighbor's fence and our house utility wiring. I made the front notch cut, then a partial back cut with the chain saw. Pounded the wedges in with a 3 pound sledge and finished the cut with a bow saw by hand standing on a ladder that was resting against the house. Pounded the wedges after every inch or so of progress with the bow saw. Most of the time you wouldn't be using wedges 15' in the air, but they did fall when the tree fell, better they were plastic. I keep these in the chain saw case, probably wouldn't if they were steel.Careful as I was trying to be, I still ended up making contact with the chain saw cutting the lower section of the same tree referenced above; plastic is much more forgiving than a metal wedge. The wedge is still useful, and the saw of course is fine. Picture posted.Update: The local utility came through and dropped seven trees threatening the power lines. My huge mess to clean up. These wedges are great to keep in your back pocket for when the chain saw gets stuck, they're light, easy to insert and it just takes a tap to free the chain saw. Wouldn't be without them and I still think the 5" ones are the right size for the typical homeowner's job.

I had a chance to use these wedges recently on a couple of fairly large trees, and the results were impressive. Both of these trees had a significant lean in a direction of a nearby fence. Because of the location of the trees, adjacent to dense brush, it would have been difficult to use a rope or cable to control the fall.Using these felling wedges, and a couple of additional shims, I was able to drop both trees exactly where I wanted them. Using a 3-lb hammer to drive these wedges into the back-cut made by my chain saw, I was able to slowly alter the angle of the tree away from the fence until it finally dropped in a safe spot. This is my first experience using felling wedges, and they worked like a charm.I have also used these wedges when cutting down through horizontal limbs and trunks, to help prevent the top of the cut from closing up and pinching the chainsaw.I would have preferred that these wedges were a bright yellow, like the Oregon Cutting Systems #23565 Plastic Wedge, so that they would be easier to spot lying on the ground. Except for the color, however, these are virtually identical to the Oregon product in size and shape.These green felling wedges work great, and they cost a little less than the yellow Oregon wedge. All things considered, I would give a slight edge to the bright yellow Oregon product, but both products seem to be equally effective.

I'm offering this review in hopes that the reader can avoid the, albeit minor(continue reading) mistake I made. Being a deskjockey and not a lumberjack, I did not realize that there are multiple sizes of these wedges. I was looking for the large ones that you see on Axe Men. What I actually purchased, however, were only slightly larger than a pack of cigarettes.That said, these things work great. I think, in the end, this size is actually much more practical for the average homeowner with medium to light duty needs. I used these with great effect to drop a 20", wrongly-leaning hardwood. These offered just enough persuasion for the tree to go where I was asking it to go instead of onto my roof.I think that the larger ones I was originally seeking would actually be too large for my needs. I rarely work with anything larger than 24" on my property, and if I do, I'm calling a tree service for the insurance. For anything smaller, I think this size is just right to provide leverage while not being bulky enough to get in the way.These guys are really solid, as well. I began by driving them in with a hammer, which worked pretty well. However, I quickly realized that it was much more efficient to use the sledge end of my splitting maul. Perfect. These plastic wedges totally held their own and I no longer worry about them cracking or giving out under the stress of driving them into the slot. I'm sure I don't even need to mention this, but they are NOT, however, impervious to the actual teeth of the chainsaw, as I discovered. A roaring chain will eat through them like butter and will also, I am here to attest, hurl them 50 feet across the yard if, say, the wedge were to fall onto the chain at the completion of a preventing a pinch when making a vertical cut. Thinking before acting is always preferred when operating a chainsaw.
