Felling Wedges Tree Felling Wedges Set - Durable Made in USA ABS

Our review of these felling wedges finds them best suited to professional loggers and serious homeowners who need a durable, noncorroding tool to guide and stabilize falling trees. The single biggest reason to buy is material strength: these wedges are made in the USA from high impact ABS that resists rot, swelling and the brittleness sometimes seen with overseas plastics. For anyone who uses a chainsaw on medium to large trees, the wedges provide controlled lift and secure placement during felling cuts, reducing pinching and improving safety.

Key Features

• Made in USA: Manufactured domestically from high impact ABS for toughness and consistent quality compared to imported alternatives.
• High impact ABS material: Lightweight yet rugged construction resists rot, shrink and swell for long service life in outdoor conditions.
• Serrated grip side: Angled spikes and serrations keep the wedge firmly seated in the tree to prevent slippage during cuts.
• Keeps chainsaw from pinching: Properly driven wedges maintain the felling gap so the chainsaw is less likely to bind during the cut.
• Two smooth/saw faces: Smooth side for easier handling and serrated side for secure drive-in performance under impact.
• Set sizes available: Packs include smaller 5.5 in and larger 8 in wedge options suited for bucking and guiding larger trunks.

Who It's For

These wedges are aimed at loggers, arborists and experienced homeowners who regularly fell trees or buck large firewood. The ABS construction and serrated dogs make them particularly useful when controlling the fall direction of medium and large trees and when working wet or dirty wood where steel might corrode.

Less experienced users should still consider training or supervision when felling trees; anyone who needs ultra-heavy impact resistance beyond plastic should look at steel wedges, but those trade corrosion and weight for the plastic set's resistance to rot and lighter handling.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable ABS construction holds up to repeated driving with a sledge and resists rot and swelling.
• Serrated barbs and angled spikes secure the wedge in the cut to reduce slip and kickback risk.
• Lightweight design makes placing and carrying multiple wedges easier than steel alternatives.
• Made in USA quality provides consistent build and material properties that customers praise.

Cons

• Plastic wedges may not offer the same long-term deformation resistance as heavy forged steel under extreme reuse.
• Only two pack size options are provided, so users needing other lengths must source separately.
