A wide range of aid tools are available for use in felling, thinning and timber handling operations. This Leaflet discusses tools available in the United Kingdom which have been evaluated by the Work Study Branch of the Forestry Commission, and recommendations are made on their suitability for use in this country. The various aid tools are grouped according to function. Within each group the advantages and disadvantages of the various types available are discussed and the recommended choice is described with an assessment of its usefulness. Information on working methods can be found in the Appendices.
