Shembiner

The Shembiner XL is a lightweight and smooth aluminium hook from CMI for quickly and easily attaching your chainsaw to your harness. No gate = minimal hassle!

The Shembiner XL is an ultralight aluminium hook that attaches to the arborist harness and is wide enough for the chainsaw handle to fit directly into the hook. This enables lightning-fast detachment and attachment of chainsaws and tools without the hassle of gates or mechanical parts. An extra hole in the body makes it possible to directly attach a chainsaw lanyard or extra equipment, increasing flexibility in the tree crown.

Designed by arborist Shem Kendrick and made in the USA by CMI (Colorado Mountain Industries). Perfect for professional arborists who prioritise safety, speed and minimal weight in work at height. Please note: Not intended for life-support use.
