3/8" x 10' Tree Saver Tree Savers are made from the same material our winchlines AmSteel Blue,
19,600 lb. breaking strength. To protect the light weight line, we use a 1/2"
braided Polyster jacket, covered with a tight braided Nylon sleeve to keep
splinters and sand from getting into the line. Outer layers provide a cushion
protecting the tree from damaging cuts.
When choosing a Tree Saver, a key safety factor is to utilize a line with
minimal stretch characteristics, reducing the possibility of snap back in case
the line breaks. For example: If you use a 10 foot length of rope, the
line can stretch as much as 3 feet, increasing the chance of serious damage if
the line breaks. There is an advantage for using rope with high stretch
characteristics for yanking, but not for winching.
One of the keys to safety in winching is to minimize any stretch between
hitch points. Utilizing a low stretch synthetic winchline and tree saver
minimizes stretch between these points, thus minimizing the risk of potential
damage.
