Chain Saws Direct Announces Expansion of Chain Saw Safety Gear

BOLINGBROOK, IL (August 30, 2010) - ChainSawsDirect.com - an online superstore - announced it is expanding its offering of chain saw protective equipment.

With the inclusion of this new protective gear, ChainSawsDirect now offers protective chaps, gloves, helmets, hearing protection, safety glasses and even training DVDs.

"According to the US Consumer Products Safety Commission, the average chain saw injury requires 110 stitches, and this is for professional loggers," said Jon Hoch, founder and CEO of Power Equipment Direct, the parent-company of Chain Saws Direct. "If an accident does occur, this durable protective equipment can help to minimize the severity of an injury."

According to Hoch, most retailers are loyal to whatever chain saw safety gear is on the shelves.

However, ChainSawsDirect.com is not your ordinary retailer. The online superstore exclusively carries chain saws, pole saws and chain saw accessories and safety equipment. Chain Saws Direct offers consumers more than 40 different models of electric and gas-powered chain saws and pole saws.

In addition to carrying chain saw safety equipment, ChainSawsDirect.com also carries a complete line of Husqvarna, Earthwise, Remington and Tanaka chain saws, plus a wide selection of chain saw accessories.
