Grief for not using wire core.

[skyhuck]

Don't use mine unless spiking a reasonable barrel. Agree with most of the comments. I too use a choked climb line as a BU below my lanyard/FL

 

Good pics, that's some good chunks from a 200T.

Looks like a 201t, to me

I would expect any climber working for me to use one when wrecking trees - Why would you not? modern ones are light & flexible

 

Would you be unhappy if they chose not to Pete?

 

For me its just another piece of kit to buy. I can appreciate it makes it a little easier to flick up a stem but again thats just preference.

 

At no point should you be cutting dangerously close to your strop, and you should always have a secondary, so for me the wire core isn't necessary.

 

If I was doing daily big stems I might reconsider, but for the varied work I do my strop is fine all round.

I'll take your word for it, I don't know how to distinguish the difference from here.

like you say auz is a long way

Yep me too Stevie. I always use one! And I have nicked a couple too, nicking a rope would be alot worse... And they always seem to get nicked when they're brand new ha

 

Talking like a real poikey...

Nicking stuff.

Unusual to only be allowed a wire core on power line clearance.

 

Sorry, I've written that back to front or you've understood it back to front WPD do NOT allow you to use wire core flip lines on live cutting.

Ha Ty takes one to know one

 

You knows what I mean

I only use mine on large diameter stem dismantling. For everything else I use my rope lanyard. When I was employed on powerline clearance they only ever allowed wire core fliplines which used to peeve me a bit.

 

Really? Every utility I've worked for has banned wire core because of the conductivity issue. That included MANWEB, SWEB and SEB.

Ah, that makes more sense.
