Oregon Cutting Systems #23565 Plastic Wedge

Dimensions are incorrectly listed as 9.4" x 8.1" x 4.1". The #23565 Oregon wedge is actually 5 1/2" long and 1 3/4" wide at base and 2 3/4" wide at the end. Depth is 1" at the base.

After years of using the metal felling wedge I decided to try this Oregon #23565 Plastic Felling Wedge. The metal wedge has its pros and cons as well as the plastic wedge. The main benefit with the plastic felling wedge is with an accidental contact of the wedge by the chain saws cutting chain. It will still dull the cutter but not destroy the chain as a metal felling wedge may do.

I'd never used a wedge like this before. I was pleasantly surprised that it does well what it's supposed to do. The color makes it easy to find in the leaves. It doesn't slip. It's a good product. I'd have given it five stars if the price were a little lower.
