Petzl tool clips

[Riggerbear]

Hi all,

Anyone else noticed that the Petzl tool clips are not as strong as they used to be.

I had one for ages, that broke and i'm on my third this year !

 

Sorry for what maybe a bit of a boring thread !

And I can remember when this was all fields.

I go through them quick too. That said they get a pretty tough life!

No worries.

 

To answer your question - I'm not sure they were ever that strong.

I hang my saw off one of the big ones on my right hip (the metal clip has been cable-tied open) and if I'm rigging with slings I add two of the wee ones to my harness. But I often remove the wee ones because they catch on the way up and deposit gear on the way down.

I have started using the plastic hooks from lobster pots, that wash up on the beach. Much heavier duty and free.

I don't know what they are, any photos?

Check ALL the simple things first.

Well if you live, you learn.

 

I've lived on the northwest coast of Ireland all my life and have never seen those on local pots - it just goes to show you, eh?

 

I can see how they could be useful - for many wee jobs.

 

Thanks.
