Hey Chris, just got off the phone with bob at firewood Prosizer and ordered 2 lasers. He asked where I heard about him and told him you and tony. He’s VERY appreciative of you guys, says he’s getting a lot of calls because of you two!!! Great job guys and thanks again for all your videos Chris, I really enjoy them!

One thing I can ALWAYS count on is the fact that Tony is on the razors edge with technology!!!! Great video, love Tony's humor!

For as much as saws cost these days you’d think they would have incorporated something like this into them already.

The banter is great, your friend has a quick wit.

This was a great video, you two work really well together! Really enjoy seeing you two doing videos! Keep them coming!

Great to see you and Tony again Chris! Andrew probably has the ultimate measuring tool but I can't find them anywhere. I have the laser pro and after you use it for a while I think you will like it. But still, Andrew has the most versatile one I've seen. You and Tony need to do a live KZfaq event soon. Have a great day.

Awesome work guys, I did bring up that ProSizer a few months ago to ya to check out and look it’s there. And right now it’s 64.50$

Ive been using my prosizer for almost a year now , works great , love it . I mount mine lower so my hand goes above it when i cut horizontal.

Chris, I have been trying about all of the different types. I usually take three to four saws out when I cut, this saves time in refueling and always seem to have sharp chains. Not wanting to spend over $ 200 prosizers I have installed extended nuts on the front bar nut. Originally I threaded SS rod but had to unscrew it to refuel so now I drilled a hole through the nut and an unthreaded rod and use a clip to hold it in place. Easy to install and remove and cost is about $ 3 per saw. Works for me. Thanks for all your videos. I am a retired pro photographer and really enjoy the firewood business although at 75 its getting harder.

I currently run the prosizer myself. I had been doing the measurements with a stick and marker. It was slow and I’ve lost those then I made a magnet tool works good but it’s something that you can miss place and lose. The major thing I like about the prosizer is it’s on my saw and does not get in the way. It does need to be changed but it run for quite awhile and in the very bright sun it is a bit hard to see. It’s pretty accurate and consistent with lengths. Now there will always be a bit of variation because we aren’t using a fixed cutting tool like a processor. I would have to disagree with it being easy to see in the sun in the direct mid day sun it is hard to see but most other times it will be fine. I have had no issue using it in the cold and it stays on my saw that I keep in my tool box on my truck. It’s one less tool to worry about bringing out to the wood ward or the forest. All tool have pros and cons. You also need to be a bit more conscious of trying to stay at a good 90° angle to the log ( it does take some time to get at marking the log and then cutting.) once you get good at marking you can seriously plow through the wood. I like it myself so I’d buy more down the road. Cool to see more people embracing new tools.

GP Outdoors has one and did a really good review. If you're looking for the 15-17" range I'm sure they're great. You have to make sure you have the bar 90 degrees to the wood or the length will change quickly, so the longer the bar the harder this would be. If you're looking for exactly 16" I think the accu mark might be the best.

Lol, i didn't even get through half the video and ordered one! My neighbor, who is retired and sells firewood, came over in his gator the other day. I just got done splitting about a cord of wood that i'll burn in my stove in a couple years. I say to him "man, if you put a gun to my head i still couldn't cut a consistent sized round" 😂 He's like yeah you got a couple long ones in there. I never want to take the time to mark a log. Gonna give this laser a try. 👍

Great Video you guys! You work well together. Very excited about this! Thank you!

This was a good one as always thanks to both of you guys. I usually go from the back of gas tank handle to felling spikes on saw turning it sideways cut and so on bottom of saw is 16 inches roughly on mine thanks

Tony you should have shown Chris how a real saw cuts with your 500I!! I couldn't resist 😆 Looks like a good unit for measuring. Great video guys.

Yall work together so well!! Love this content both of you are too smart haha!! Gni!!!

Good lord men. I've veen cutting firewood for 20 ish years and I've never thought of using any of these gadgets. I like your stuff you guys. This kind of thing is a silly in my opinion. I realize you guys are new at this, but after a year I'd think you guys would have had it figured out.

Great video, couldn’t believe tony did so much complaining he didn’t mention that funny chocolate he sent you. I have been trying to get the pro sizer for months in UK with success, since i first saw it on GP outdoors. Give tony a piece of his chocolate back.

New toys for big kids ,their great when they work ,let’s see it go the distance great vids as always keep on cutting.

Always interesting and informative content. Thank you.

Well that worked out nicely. We both did prosizer videos today! Fun video guys. GNI!

Looks good I'll wait for your next review before I order one

You two and Kenny are a hoot!

I've been using one for a year now with excellent results. I have the improved version though the first couple I had failed because the spring under the button wasn't strong enough and wouldn't allow it to spring back out.

Looks nice I might have to get one for my ms 391. I'm using like a magnet where it stretches out to pick stuff up but I have it marked to do 18" cuts. Works great for $5.

From northern oconto county.I been using the accu mark but cutting in the swamp I keep losing it.I'm putting the laser on my list of must have.Great videos.

Just ordered one. Thanks!

Just use some canned air to blow out the charge port before you start charging. If you notice that the bolts are moving after a while, then use some blue loctite and mark the bolt locations for a visual checking on moving.

I’ve never found a need for any measuring device other than my trusty 1 metre long stick with 3 screws in it. If it’s less than a metre it goes straight onto the splitter, any more then I cut it down to 1 metre using the screws to mark where the cut goes. After the lengths are split, I use a rack to cut them all up to the desired lengths. I have markers at the base of the rack so I always get them consistent lengths. That set up had worked for me for years now.

Nice measuring tool there guys. I think I'm gonna wait for version 2 with the vertical adjustments. GNI

Cool device, you can also measure from the end of your handle to the nuts keeping your clutch cover on. The 2nd bolt on my husky is 16 inches.

Personally, I, like others, made a template of the desired length of the boiler from an M6 stud with 2 nuts that attach this template to the chainsaw rail. I make 3 marks on a meter-long log, quickly remove the pin, do the cuts and repeat. This is a bit inconvenient, so it is better to replace the nuts with neodymium magnites. It's even cheaper, almost free. And although the laser is cool, you will quickly damage or destroy it against a log. Due to the constant shaking of the saw, the fastening screws will be constantly lost.

What no threw out “ size matters” jokes. I expect more from the two of you. Great video.

Well during hunting season your best buddy is the Buddy that has elk and mule deer on his property!

Can't wait for the Chris version of review.. I have been looking at this for the last year.. Since I dont do much cutting I got a Acc-U-mark stick..

Interesting Thanks for sharing Chris 👍

In the woodyard little Pinky Kitty whisker measuring devices $2 each or $6 for a pack of 4! Some assembly required. $8 for a roll of pink tape. Extra.

Good demonstration.

Thanks guys. I've been waiting for this vid ever since Tony was at your wood yard and mentioned the Lazer.

Thanks for the idea I’m going to use a big zip tie off the handle of my saw.

G’morning Chris. Poor Tony,, haha ! Looks like some good tools ! Wonder about it getting hot. I like the old school way. Thank yous ! GoodNightIrene

Nice, I been tossing it around in my head of getting one

Yes, I've been processing firewood for year and I received this as a gift from my son - Pro-sizer. Didn't last. Lazer light weak, poor without overcast.

Shoot out of stock. Always good to see Tony

Looks like a nice tool. I have couple the stick on the bar ones. I don’t like them it a extra step. I just cut for myself and family eye work ok for me. If I sold wood I would have be more exact. Have a great day my friend.

I've heard it before that Chris likes a bottom grab. For accuracy due to parallax errors you would be better off with the laser to the outside. For bash protection obviously it's better on the inside. I'd say that the biggest disadvantage to using the ProSizer is that you always have to be the same distance from the log as what you measured at. In Chris's case he marks when the tip is touching the wood and then immediately moves the best part of the bar length closer to start cutting. For speed I think you'll find the whiskers will still be a fair bit faster.

Ok I want one, thanks man

You said you would do a follow up on the Prosizer and was wondering what your thoughts were on it. Great channel 😊👍

Tony, since Chris tossed you aside, you can be my best friend. Except my Jennifer, she'll always be my best friend above all else.

I installed mine on a dedicated battery powered saw. No worry about destroying the laser. Turn the laser on, mark your log, turn laser off, then use gas powered saw to cut.

Thanks for the good video.

Now we're not cheap we are frugal here in Ohio. Chris's pink kitty whiskers measuring device works just fine on my chainsaw.

I thought Tony is everybody's best Friend, just ask Dan over at Back 40 Firewood Keep up the good work Pete

Nice gadget.Tony is a gas. You two are like Doc and Festus

Cool product. You could put a small shim at the back of the laser to bring it down to where the bottom of the chain is.

Morning Guys! I Like that Prosizer alot - Bob and Em are wonderful folks. I am finding after using it over last summer and the Fall, that I get more than 5 hours out of a battery charge. Makes for quick cutting. Just takes a bit of time to get a hang of where the dot is, versus your bar, but once you get used to it, you begin cutting more more consistent. Just when you thought you couldn't block wood any quicker - now you will be on fire Chris!! LOL! Have a good one!

I got some good info out of your video today.

Second video I watched on this gadget today. Seems like it would take some getting used to. Looked well built. I’m sure if you don’t like it you will be honest and call it a piece of crap🤣👍🏻👍🏻GNI

The big problem with this method is that as the laser is at an angle the length will vary when you move the cutter bar on or away from the log, surely it would be easier to just move along the log and mark before you cut through it, and much quicker even though you are doing 2 moves.

ProSizer sales about to go 📈📈📈, you guys better be getting a commission! GNI 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

좋은 영상 정보 감사합니다 🎉 From South Korea 🇰🇷 💕 💓

This is reminding me of the Red Green show!

I use my accumark in my 2511p. Then come back with 550 572 6100 or 7900 to finish it. Ofcourse I use the 2511p for limbing also. Love that little fella.

The human eye is very accurate and with practice its quite easy to mark off 16" by eye with no reference. If you are doing loads of logs, assuming they are the standard 8' use your saw to make a mark at the 1/3 and 2/3 point, then make a mark in the middle of each of these three sections. Voila 6-16" blocks ready to be cut. No gimmicks, easy and repeatable. If you have 16' logs, cut them in half first to make it easier to layout.

I eyeball my cuts most of the time. But on the bigger logs I use a magnetic 16in stick on my bar to keep consistsnt length.

I understand why KZfaqr’s show products on your channels but I think if you NEED something to get a 15-17 inch piece use the zip cord trick Christopher invented! By far the cheapest, simplest, and most foolproof device I’ve seen..

I have a full wrap handle on my saws so you can use it easily from both sides.

Great video of the Pro-sizer laser. Install was nice, cause Tony did it twice. Who would’ve thunk it, Chris once had his Husky cutting crooked? Must have had his thong twisted😳. Laurel and Hardy got nothing on you two. Thanks fellas.

He just needs to incorporate a thumb activated switch so the laser is only on when you press the switch with your thumb.

Would be pretty slick if it could be integrated into the inside of the handlebar. I guess it holds up to the continuous vibration of the motor or we'd have heard about that by now. Only tricky bit is holding the saw the same way to the log for every measurement. I think I'll stick with my magnetic magic wand.

On the Firewood ProSizer webpage they an option for a Swivel on the laser it’s $74.50 . The Standard ProSizer you demonstrated is $64.50 I bet the Swivel one is great for adjusting the laser beam down without moving the clamp down the saw handle. They also have chose of green or red laser. They are back ordered. I think $39.99 would be a better price point.

Hi Chris, first, you do a great job at producing your videos. I owned a video production company 30 years ago. I am amazed at the quality folks get with go pro cameras. Would you mind telling me what editing software you use? Suggestion: if you want to lower the laser spot, you could just add a shim to tilt it anywhere you want. Shalom/gw P.S. Your friends and family, the people you care about, are the greatest blessings in life. ;-))

There is a updated one that has swivel at the laser so you can mount higher than bar level and aim down to get it at same level

Wife is gonna be pissed about me charging my chainsaw in the kitchen.....

that Jobar Teflon Measuring Rod works on both it attaches to the nuts .. Sthiel shop has one that mounts to the underside of the bar.. hard to find either of them

I would set it up so it lines up at the motor and the teeth because I don’t like messing around the tip and then it won’t matter what length the bar is. The second thing I put in the adapters for the magnetic cable charger it keeps the connect clean some that are hard to keep in because of vibration I put a bead of black light glue around the magnetic charger adopter

I need this

I think it's hard to see the laser! I use the accumark and it's great! Nice video! Keep it up

If you wear size 9 and a 1/2 boots, it is a foot and a heel. Your boot is 3/4 of the length. Just imagine a quarter more and cut there. With a sharpie, I draw a line across the top of my boot (back from the toe) at the point that equals distance needed. It is easy to visualize that much further and make precise cut

Good idea but I'll stick with the zip ties. I don't like that the length changes the closer the powerhead is to the log. Zip ties stay the same length no matter how you approach your cut.

The laser needs to be adjustable like a laser on a pistol so it can point down further. I use the ACCU MARK and love it but yes you have to be aware of where its at but its rock solid on the bar. You should do a video with you, Tony and your Brother using different ones and do a race (for lack of better words) and see which one is the most efficient, my guess is Accu Mark would win.

Good morning Chris!!😀😀 Now that you have had some time to use it. How do you like it? It just seems like another expensive gadget for measuring the wood. I have eyeballed my firewood for so many years that I can get within a inch one way or the other and if that isn't good enough for customers I don't want to sell wood to them anyway. Take care my friends!! 😀😀 Logger Al

Cool Lazer thing

My cats would love it

Nice video job. I've seen the ProSizer advertised before and wondered how well they work. I wonder why the saw companies haven't found a way to integrate laser measuring into the body of the saw with external angle adjustments. Not sure I like the handle mount of the ProSizer. Yes your rakers appear to be a little low, but the bogging/stalling will go away after the first or second tooth sharpening as you already know. Did the ProSizer make Tony's saw finally cut straight? GNI

Interesting tidbit. When timber cruisers measure hardwood, we have to cut off the height at 4" dia". When you get a good eye for it, you can tell just looking without having measure If you cut an exact 16" peace of wood and place it where you can view that every day. It shouldn't be to long before you get the eye for 16".

I think Tony picked the biggest log he had so that Chris would cut it up for him and save him from doing the work...Lol. It looks like a neat tool but I'm colour-blind and would be concerned that I wouldn't be able to see the laser in certain light conditions. If anyone else is colour-blind and has used one let me know the results. Thanks, Dave

I bought one for a secret Santa gift but I haven’t heard if they liked it or not. I’d like one though

This is my opinion after you mount the device to the saw it would be nice to rotate the laser up and down, for me I would move the laser further down.

Or use a zip tie on the handle. No batteries, no moving parts. Works every time

Ok so, you have the dot where you need to cut, then you be have to remember exactly where it was once you move the saw to cut 🤔 This leaves a margin of error for a lot of people, and that margin can be that 1 inch, mentioned. Theres a better way that I've been working on, and hoping to market soon, which will leave zero margin of error as all these products shown produce.

I was all ready to drop $60 on a the new Jeremy’s Razors shave kit now I’m debating clean shave or a laser guided chainsaw.

I like your method of "whiskers" as Tony calls them. Let me know if you get 3 and try them out!! Send me a link for the charger please!! Have a Safe Day

I think the lazer great but definitely would be better if a new version was made to change the up and down adjustment.

“Used toilet paper” 🤣

I still think that the accu mark magnetic one is the one I'd pick

I want to get one and try on my woodmizer.

I would let the maker know that the mount needs to be more adjustable. Certainly could fabricate a mount that could have better adjustment?

They make these heavy duty zipties. Wonder how well that would work. Have one cut to 16" from the handle.

May want to see if that saw will start before installing
