Safe bloc users

[Mick Dempsey]

Will do. (Would have done anyway) I like to understand this stuff, or at least try to.

Looked like the splice wasn't tight enough , mines never moved , the safebloc is a great tool , natural fork rigging burns the hell out of modern rigging lines !! If your still on 3 ply Manila then go for it )

It adds friction like a lowering device , if you use a bollard your doubling the force on the top rigging point.. this acts like a bollard at the top of the tree, they are pretty smooth and easy to use.

 

 

 

Cheers for the links matty.

Looks like a handy device

Id be more interested if they offered it spliced into a loopie/whoopie

 

I'm sure Sherriltree do a loopie and a whoopie splice

Isn't the safebloc a copy of the original THT by David Driver who produces the X rings!

Safebloc is just the commercial name for the THT. Same guy same bit of kit 👍

Just carry on crotch rigging in those situations Mick.

It's a lot cheaper than this bollocks which will potentially kill you, as Matty has pointed out.

I don't always use crotches Mark, this was state of the art in '94

 

Used a couple of weeks ago on a Lombardy.

I used one of those once. The lowering rope, think it was sisal that looked suitable for mooring the QE2, broke!

Dost thou not loler?

It's lasted longer than Matty's safebloc anyway!
