small things

[Mark Bolam]

I think he means these bad babies

 

Towa ActivGrip Work Gloves (C01) - £3.99 - Work Gloves - Arborist Equipment & Forestry Kit - Stafford West Midlands

 

They have thin versions for climbing (Black hands) and thick ones that last 5-6 months (Blue hands).

 

They are a revelation.

 

Good link mate.

 

Awesome gloves.

those towa activegrips are great gloves. ive got worn out and stinking pairs lying around all over the place. gone to towa powergrab thermo for the winter which are equally as good!

 

i went to a shop called clas ohlson, a pack of 30 mini carabiners ranging from about 1 inch to 4 inch for 6 quid, so they now jingle around my bag in pretty colours, really handy for throwlining as the crabs are really small for attaching spliced eyes to throw bags on the line.

 

i too love my stein retreiver hook. but the 3rd section is locked out on mine now, it pulled out while retrieving and now doesnt fold back up. bah!
