Well, I don't know if it's made here, and if it's sold in other country, but we can get it here.

Yeah, that ring on the saw is plenty to hold it's weight. That's what it's there for. Not saying it's indestructable, but it works fine.

that ring on the MS200 lookslike it would fall off if you looked at it wrong. Could you hook it to the handle grip?

 

[Grizzly]

An old piece of rope.

A old peice of rope. Hell I was useing a key chain clip for a long time untill I droped my saw from a 40ft' palm. I would sugest just getting a lanyard that can clip on your saw or wrap arround it. Its been a greatest peice of equipment on my harnest besides a prescent for lack tieing and repelling down the the tree.

Tool hook

Yeah, looks ok, but does it lock? Nothing worse than worming your way up a thick spruce and having your saw snap get caught on the branches. Or having a branch open your gate and dump your saw.

Well it works like a regular gate on a nonlocking accessory biner, like Petzl Caritool. I think this one shod be steady and strong, and don't you use a lanyard on you'r chainsaw I do see the problem of a branch open the gate, but I think this is one of the better Tool Hook's I seen.

Petzl Caritool

Lanyard

 

[beowulf343]

don't you use a lanyard on you'r chainsaw

Yeah, but once had the lanyard unhooked by a branch and didn't know it until another branch dumped my saw and it hit the ground. It's why I tape up all non-locking snaps on my saddle and use locking snaps everywhere else.

Hmm, just did some checking on the caritool-is only rated for 11lbs. Seems kinda weak. Just the powerhead of the 200t is almost 8lbs, right?

I think I chance to some kind of locking snap in the lanyard if I were you, and yes the Caritool seems kinda weak for any chainsaw,
use this

Tool Hook's

Here is some Tool Hook's from free worker in Germany

 

[fhfr436]

Petzl Caritoool, European tool hooks

The Petzl Caritool is intended for one-handed storage for ice climbing screws. I agree that it is most likely unsuitable for the weight of a chainsaw.
Black Diamond makes one that's similar called the Ice Clipper. It's a big black plastic wire-gate carabiner with a flat spine like the Caritool. However, it does not have the integrated belt-retaining slot that the Caritool has. Instead, it comes with a separate rubber retainer strap.

There is apparently an updated version to put a little hook on the top. I assume this still comes with the strap.

The first and third German hooks also look like fantastic options to try.
One common benefit is that they are designed to stay perpendicular to the belt, so they are easily accessible.
