These pliers are used to saw through a glued ring, which for example cannot be removed with soap or wire, without damaging the skin. There are also models for left-handers. More technical information on the Dutch version of this page. [MOT]

The felling wedge is an approx. 30 cm long wooden wedge that is driven into the saw cut when felling thick trees to prevent the saw from jamming and to make the tree fall in the right direction. Usually two or three are used together. These wedges can also prevent the saw from jamming when cutting the felled tree into pieces. A splitting wedge is sometimes used instead of the felling wedge.
