rope guide and harness maintenance

[Tom D]

WD is ok to get your krab moving if its sticking but it is a petrocemical and so could attack certain plastics such as your ropes hitch cord etc. Best avoid or clean off crab once its working again.

 

stick the ropeguide in a pillow case in the washing machine:001_smile:

local hardware shops sell graphite powder and definatly a lock smiths as they use it for lubricating locks

though be carefull if doing your car locks that you dont squirt loads in as it fills the lock and you have to swill it out. Not that i have done that obviously:blushing:

but is great stuff even huck has a bottle of it:thumbup:

[Stephen Blair]

well if huck has some then i want some too:thumbup:

Clogger! Showing your age there swb!

 

Does anyone still make/sell cloggers?

 

I used to use one and quite liked it.

[Stephen Blair]

i think its called a clogger, its a metal grab for the steel core rope strop thingy

Seriously, don't try and make graphite yourself by rubbing pencil on sandpaper, you will get quartz (por worse, corrundum/carborundum) particles into the graphite and if you put abrasives like that in your krab hinges etc. you will gub them verty quickly.
