Shembin

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

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

Designed by arborist Shem Kendrick and manufactured in the USA by CMI (Colorado Mountain Industries). Perfect for professional arborists who prioritize safety, speed, and minimal weight in high-altitude work. Note: Not intended for life support use.
