Take THAT, Overpriced “Tree Doctor”!


Take THAT, Overpriced "Tree Doctor"!

Submitted by: dunno source via Submit a Kludge!

Favorite Thread!: Today we continue the Epic Zombie Drama that was started a few weeks ago!

Fixer Blackmoore gets the ball rolling with, “Day 139: We’re having some issues with zombies attempting to get in through the roof on the science center. As I’m currently out of ammo I had to kludge together a pole arm to reach up and saw off the limbs. It’s take a few days to get used to it, but last night i managed to behead 5, and severed 15 arms.”
Fixer lovejones says, “Day 140: Oh my god! The zombie got the pole-arm; don’t ask how, they just did.”
Then Fixer Bridge says,”Day 141: The zombies managed to combine their individual IQ point into a whole. They have stolen my saw-arm and are cleverly using it to cut down the fence I just built. I managed to put together a handgun with parts I stole from an old drive thru talk box, but I didn’t plan ahead on what I was going to use for ammo…. damnit.”
And Fixer Ast concludes, “I remember the beans from the can that I used my kludged can-opener to open a very long time ago. I have not finished that can of beans. Maybe the shrivelled-up and hardened ones can serve as ammo.”

  1. Uh oh says:

    It is time to buy a new saw now.

  2. Uh oh says:

    That tape better be strong.

  3. Sergeantdisco says:

    What do you mean you’ve decided to grow your hair instead?

  4. Loegria says:

    FIRST!!!!! Took me a minute to figure out what this was, though.

  5. mamarosa says:

    Let’s see if it will cut through this power line first.

  6. kc/cc says:

    ‘The Continental’ finally takes it to the streets, where neighborhood women, frustrated that he is not deterred by the throwing of ’champagna’ into his face, finally kick it up a notch. If you keep watching this scene, you’ll see Christopher Walken enter– and then quickly exit–stage right.

  7. Maggie says:

    Tree, telephone or power pole, metal ladder, mop handle, duct tape, carpenter’s saw, clamp. Even if this guy (must be a guy!) went and bought a proper limb saw, he still has the telephone pole and the ladder combo to take him out. The makeshift saw is a red herring in this photo, but this way, the family saves the $29.00 from the saw to put toward a better quality of casket.

  8. cyxap says:

    this is Kisame’s Samehada!

  9. husabob says:

    The ladder looks a bit kludgey too… I bet I can guess which limb it’s leaning against, and which one they’re gonna saw….. without going out on a limb.
    limb. limb, limb; it’s just one of those words that makes me smile to say it!

    • kc/cc says:

      Appropriate, since I suspect we’re about to witness someone’s loss of one. Or more.

      Keep chanting, and it sounds kinda like Monty Python: Limb, limb, LIMB…

  10. JB says:

    Ready for zombies!

    • bob norris says:

      i have managed to combine some bleach and mayonnaise to make a solution that resembles gun powder but what do i use for a casing

  11. pokemonruler says:

    That’s not a saw. It’s an ancient arrowhead from thousands of years ago. It was used by cavemen to take down the odd stegosaurus.

  12. TheAntiVillain says:

    looks like it can be a weapon in final fantasy

  13. Joanma Razepe says:

    The massacre in Texas 2 is really going to be cheaper

  14. Cayenne says:

    So that’s where the “MR. FIX IT” guy was headed out in his van.

  15. waldo says:

    Ahab: “First we plunge into the whale then we make the sushi.” Smee: “Wait a minute, watch the fried cable guy come down, then we make the dumplings.”

  16. Cayenne says:

    Dude didn’t want to pay $19.99 for a tree saw so he got creative and payed.
    $9.99 for the broom
    $12.99 for the hand saw
    $5.99 for a roll of duct tape
    $1.29 for the clamp

  17. RusFixer says:

    Enraged lumberjack kills 3 and injures 17 in an attempt to cut a tree.

  18. lovejones says:

    Why do I keeping having flashbacks of “The Lawnmower Man”?

  19. Dan says:

    My bet is that contraption was assembled after he used the saw in the normal way:
    the duct tape is smooth, clean, and unwrinkled. This might work though if he used hose clamps on the outside of the tape.

  20. Cyantificpolymorph says:

    But the cat came back the very next day. the cat came back, thought he was a gonner.

  21. scott says:

    I like this, The teeth on this saw is made for cutting trunks and large branches which makes it much better than come with the branch cutters you buy at Home Depot.

  22. überRegenbogen says:

    Not such a bad hack, actually. Though i’d've gone with a vise-grip or two (and no tape) to attach it, and preferably a much less rusty saw. (Rust doesn’t sharpen well.)

  23. Paddy says:

    It’s gonna have to come off, soldier. Have a shot of whiskey and bite this bullet…

  24. Former Seller Of Smut says:

    Was anyone else’s first thought “is that blood on the saw?”

    Near the teeth.. close to the clamp? Anyone?

  25. dono1 says:

    Oh, oh. Tree branches on the sidewalk. Good thing I brought my Swiss Army Mop with me.

  26. Hanabi says:

    It’s like handyman meets Highlander..

  27. tim says:

    i lover the fact that not only is the saw home made but the ladder looks like two ladders glue together

  28. Cayenne says:

    Mr. Obvious. How do you know this? Are you “MR. FIX IT”? Was that your van too? :)

  29. Michael says:

    I’ve actually done this, it’s a great way to improvise a pruning saw.

  30. Devil Dan says:

    SAW VIII

  31. corrupt says:

    It slices it dices it makes julian fries!

  32. shushnik says:

    Blizzard keeps getting lazier with their weapon modeling. First they were copying old models and recoloring them. Now this.

  33. Mr Salsa says:

    When the zombie apocalypse comes, I’m with this guy! He’s like a backyard McGyver of weaponry.

  34. The Guy Who Cut Down the Branch says:

    I’m the guy who did this.

    A few things to point out:

    - Picture was taken after the branch was cut down. You can see the downed branch in the background. Note – it’s not a clean cut, I got about 3/4 of the way through and then the branch broke off. I managed to jump off the ladder before it hit me in the head.

    - The tape wasn’t cut through, because I only used the part of the saw protruding past the broom handle.

    - That’s rust on the saw. Not blood. Yet.

    - The clamp was required because the duct tape alone wasn’t strong enough to hold the saw in place. I only used the side of the saw with the large teeth, so the clamp did an effective job of acting against the pressure of pushing against the branch.

    - The ladder is an extension ladder, it’s not 2 ladders attached together.

    - I actually think this would make an awesome weapon in a first person shooter.

  35. Extato says:

    It’s the Master Sawrd!
    *doo doo doo doooooo*

  36. Madness says:

    True. If duct tape isn’t enough to hold it together, it was not meant to be!

  37. Default User says:

    Emergency Room Co-pay: $100
    Surgery to reattach severed foot: $500
    Missing Work for three months while the foot heals: $17,000
