Petzl caritool

Recommended Posts

Have been using caritools for a long time, the first couple broke when hanging the big saw in it (MS640)

 

I switched over to using them upside down and later when the big caritool was introduced I started using it upside down as well. It's ideal for clipping in the chainsaw one handed, for getting it out you still have to use both hands. The bigger one won't break !

 

I you use the upside down the motion of clipping in the saw is way better for me and it prevent you from having to use two hands or just one hand on a small biner to clip it in.

 

Fixed them on my sequoia and TM saddle and they sure are great tools to have around.

Anyone ever accidentally clip their lanyard into their caritool instead of the D ring by mistake?

 

Me neither...:blushing:

 

I clipped my lanyard into my caritool once as a kind of breakaway system when I didn't really trust the piece I was rigging off and tied to. I then forgot about how I was tied in and disconnected my rope whilst only tied in by the caritool. Stupid mistake and one I won't make again.

Yep, clipping on off a ladder.

Leant back and fell arse over tit into a bush. Lucky really. Decided I didn't need a Caritool on the left as well as the right anymore....

I know one shouldn't laugh at anothers misfortune but thats a great image!

 

Lucky it wasn't serious! Luckily i was only using my lanyard for positioning so just had a wee swing.

 

Its a great bit of kit but sometimes it get me grinding my teeth!
