Felling Wedges

Felling wedges for chainsaw work, used to help guide a tree's fall direction and to stop a saw bar binding during felling or bucking cuts. They come in plastic, aluminium and steel, and in sizes from around 5 1/2 inches up to 11 1/2 inches, sold individually or in packs of two, four, five or ten.

Plastic wedges are lighter and won't damage a chain if accidentally struck, while steel wedges, including heavier grenade style wedges, give more driving force for splitting or for larger diameter trees. Choose size and quantity based on the size of timber you're working and how many you want on hand for a job.

  • Plastic wedges in multiple sizes and pack quantities
  • Steel wedges including grenade style wedges
  • Aluminium wedges

Frequently asked questions

Should I use plastic or steel felling wedges?

Plastic wedges are safer around a running chain since they won't damage it if struck, while steel wedges, including grenade style ones, give more driving force for splitting or larger trees.

What size wedge do I need?

Sizes range from around 5 1/2 inches up to 11 1/2 inches, with larger wedges suited to bigger diameter trees and heavier felling or splitting work.

Why buy wedges in a pack rather than individually?

Multiple wedges are often used together on larger cuts, so packs of two, four, five or ten let you keep enough on hand for a job without running out.
