Make sure you maintain your tools by performing regular maintenance tasks like grinding or sharpening. Remember to follow the manufacturer’s instructions while you’re doing this. While some would argue that these chaps should not be technically called trousers, I have decided to group them all in together because-

One of the advantages of chainsaw chaps is that they are easy to slip on over your jeans and then you just use the three straps (one at the waist and two on the legs) to secure them in place. This makes them a good choice if you think you are going to be in and out of the house a lot as you can just slip them off when you enter and not risk getting dirt and oil everywhere, which would no doubt make the wife very happy….not. Nowadays, top brands offer work boots in a whole array of colours and designs to give more options to the buyer, as well as doing a fantastic job at keeping your feet safe while you are working. Cheap / Off brand Power Tools The affairs, business and property of the Company are being managed by the Administrators and who act as agents of the Company without personal liability. Type-C trousers offer all round protection from cutting and these are the ones you want to use if you are going to be cutting up at heights or at strange angles due to the higher risk of the chainsaw slipping. Full trousers, dungarees or chaps?

Push the earplug into your ear canal, holding it there for a few seconds until it fills your ear canal. This will provide the best fit and greatest protection. Rocwood have given these chainsaw trousers 9 layers of protective material to keep legs safe, and I was pleased that although these are type-A trousers, the padding covers not only the front and sides, but also arches round further than some towards the rear. They are not offering complete protection, but every little extra helps. I’m 5ft 10” and a fit 14 stone, and I tried out XL size and I found them to be just about right for me, but I do like to have a bit of room to move in my chainsaw trousers.

Power tools can sell for a decent price, which has opened up the doors to cheap and fake tools coming onto the market to maximise profit. The issues we have with such tools are that they may not provide the power needed to complete the job given. Also, many of them are made with flimsy materials that could fall apart easily with the vibrations of usage. The best-case scenario is that the tool will stop working, but in the worst case, they can explode, burst into flame or shatter over the user. The classes indicate the maximum speed at which the chainsaw trousers are effective. Class 1 chainsaw trousers work up to 20m/s.

Cheap drill bits do not cut well when they are brand new and don’t cut cleanly either. It will make the job slower and more difficult. It can be challenging to identify if a cheap drill bit is doing a good job because they can work great on lighter materials. Once you go to use it on the heavier stuff, however, you will run into an array of issues that will frustrate you. PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) Yes, they are chaps but they still cover your legs, or at least a good portion of them, so for the sake of argument, they are now chainsaw trousers, and for the money they are a good pair too.
