Bulldog OAR ascender/descender

[surveyor]

Yes it should be wear resistant. The swing arms are aluminum, but the steel pins provide the bulk of the friction, and are very high grade steel wear points.

[Bing!]

Will the ali be hard anodised (natural or black) for extra protection or standard anodised (all the colours of the rainbow) to appeal to the shiny kit crew? Steel, high carbon and hardened or soft to allow for a spares market to spring up?

So then, when do I get a prototype/mk1/freebie to play with?

If you're a little shy and not sure how to ask, just blurt it out.... : )

 

Bing!

I like the natural metal, red swing arms with purple rollers would be cool.

 

Come by my place and I will let you give these a try.

Why does the first picture have singing tree on it?

The Dogbone rope wrench is my attempt to make a midline rope wrench with no parts to remove or drop, Kevin was interested and had this one in his possession, but it was all natural metal when he obtained it. When I asked if he could return it, he was kind enough to send it back with the anodization and logo that you see pictured. Thanks again Kevin.

[Bing!]

You're just teasing me now........ ; )

[surveyor]

No, if I was teasing, I would tell you I had a 3/4 size OAR in the works soon for smaller dia. rope, made of all steel and brass.

Ha! that is a tease. I'm interested in the oar, I mean, I want to buy one, please pm me with details. The anodized dogbone wrench looks AMAZING, I also want one of those.

Banks, check your messages. I have not been selling the Dogbone RW because I do not want to infringe on Kevins sales, and anyway the round end of the Dogbone does not work well with the hitch on ascent. This is a better design.
