A workshop of tools we build ourselves — born on the job, proven in the field. Each one solves a real problem with parts most tree crews already have lying around. Build them, improve them, make them yours.

Palm Boot Stripper
Two-handle chain saw-loop · cleans the rotted boot off a pineapple-cut palm base
Field-serviceable
The problem: The wet, rotted, grit-packed boot at the base of a Canary Island date palm destroys chainsaw and recip blades — the dirt dulls steel almost instantly. This tool uses abrasion and tearing instead of a cutting edge, so the grit works with you. Goal: clean a base in two downward passes.
Bill of materials
| 1 | Saw chain loop — worn chain, 28–32" loop, cutters still standing |
| 2 | T-handles — 8" steel pipe tee, ~1" grip |
| 2 | Cable tails — 1/16–3/32" aircraft cable, ~6–8" |
| 4 | U-bolt clips — sized to bite a chain link snug |
| — | Master link / pins — for building fresh loops |
Build sequence
- Splitter-set a 28–32" loop from a worn chain. A clip master link lets you change length later.
- Rig each handle permanently: cable tail + two U-clips. Saddle on the load side — never saddle a dead horse.
- Clip the cable tail onto a chain link — this doubles as your length adjuster for any base size.
- Orient the loop so the working-span cutters bite toward your downward pull.
- Test-pull at full body weight off the tree before trusting it on a palm.
Safety — non-negotiable: A loaded loop that lets go sends a steel handle back at the puller. Eyes + gloves every time. Stand so a release travels past you, not into you. Confirm clips seat tighter under load, not creeping toward the open throat.
Bonus: That stripped boot is incredible compost — high-fiber, half broken down already. Stockpile it to age a season and it's beautiful soil amendment.
