You do tend to get through a bit more friction cord but cos your goin quicker u get more work done which means u make more money so u can buy more cord haha...its a viscious circle.

hopping I get this right and my harness is on display, I could'nt get a photo of the australian standard, its says the usual things about destroying after a sigificant impact 6mt +, and then says remove from service a maximin of 10 years..

I love it, cause I'm used to it, but it is too old 1.5 years use, 7 years old, any one suggest a good replacement.
