Simple but effective design...
By Midwest Reader
The Smart Holder is available under several different manufacturers' names (my personal model is a Remington), but as far as I can tell, they're all the same design. I finally got to try mine out today with a pile of old logs and fallen limbs, and it worked quite well. Holds the woods well off the ground and makes it much easier to chop up. You have to be careful with twisted limbs -- sometimes they can turn in the holder if you don't have 'em pinched in there solid. I also found that the saw's chain can pull a limb or log toward you, but if you stand in sort of a boxer's stance and brace the front of of the limb with your lead leg while cutting, it works just fine. Holder folds down and transports easily, though I wouldn't want to carry it too far, it would get a little heavy. I got mine for about $75 after a little shopping around. Well worth the price.

essential for the backyard woodcutter
By Kenway
This product works extremely well. I was a sceptic when I ordered the wood holder but have put it to good use lately with all the post storm clean ups I've been doing. I've never liked cutting up the small diameter material (I don't have a chipper so I burn in the wood stove) - typically I'd pin down on the ground partly over another piece of wood with one foot to keep my blade out of the dirt. Sometimes the smaller pieces would ride up or even kick back at you no matter how careful you were. This holder keeps the material to be cut at a more comfortable level and very stable providing you take the second or two it takes to lock the piece in place in the swingarm teeth. What surprised me the most was how well it holds the larger diameter mini logs also. I find myself piling up similiar diameter pieces and then zipping through them with ease without making any adjustments for diameter then going to the next size range. After using the smart-holder a short time you will get a feel for what sizes will be held securely without having to adjust the swing arm (which is quite simple and not a big deal anyhow). After cutting a "log" down, the last piece in the holder does release quite easily. I like to stack the wood to be cut on top of something close to the level of the jaws and get into a rythm of loading, locking (usually a slight push down) and cutting. I do believe this system to be a much safer and more efficient way of getting this chore done. I wear steel toed boots, protective chaps, helmet (with face shield and hearing protection) which I'd recommend to anyone regardless of how you approach this thankless task. The holder does fold up and transport easily and appears like it will hold up to serious use. This tool in my opinion is well worth the price.

Slick!
By Rob
Yeah, this is a really cool tool. It arrives already assembled and to set up you just need to turn two wing nuts... and get a wrench. It's extremely sturdy and unbelievably simple to load with logs of small to fairly large diameter. The leverage is great. Teeth bit right in, allowing you to work this pretty much one-handed. Highly recommended.
