The CMI Shembiner XL is a lightweight aluminium tool hook that attaches directly to your harness via a receiving slot. The CMI Shembiner XL opening is wide enough to accommodate the chainsaw handle, enabling the climber to quickly and easily remove and rack chainsaws and tools without having to fiddle around with a gate. Please note, the hook nose of the Shembiner XL is the only security for retaining equipment. The hole in the base of the Shembiner allows you to attach a chainsaw lanyard directly to the Shembiner XL itself, or carry more gear. Designed by arborist, Shem Kendrick this version is made in the USA by CMI and comes with more rounded edges than the original model (less likely to damage your harness due to rubbing).
