Oh no! Not another zigzag :(

[ArborClimber]

Yup that is the chappy. Same place as petzl recommend inspecting!

I've only just got a zillon and frankly I love it same as the zigzag. As far as concern as long as its inspected and replaced if damaged then in my eyes its ok.

 

So yes, i'm being silly thats good to know. Thought that thats how it is, just be sensible and keep an eye on your kit (which we should anyway)

 

Zillon, consider yourself ordered!

The "scratch" on the arrow is leylandi I believe the rivet area is the crack I was referring to.

 

Hard to tell in the pic but up close its obvious due to the devices size.

 

I knew were the crack should be!!! But when you said by arrow that would be a vey bad place for it to fracture. ( got confused by wording )

I have just been checking my kit after the weeks climbing, even though I do a pre check of my zig zag before I climb have noticed mine has a crack in the top rivet, wounded cos it ace.

I know petzl have stated that it will still hold if it fails, let's be honest they realeased it and said it had been thoroughly tested, but it failed could they be wrong again? More than likley. no good climbing on something that you know is gonna fail, shop I bought it from has offered to replace or refund, back to a hitch climber for me.

Compay the size of Petzl should have sorted all the issues out with the Zig Zag Mk 1 before releasing Mk 2 . I find it hard to believe that Petzl are saying the cracks are ok and not life threatening . What other climbing device that is showing cracks is actually deemed fit for use ? None in my book . Stress Fracture / Crack whatever you call it this device really is not fit for purpose in my book . Sad thing is it actually works excellent .

petzl should of named it the " crackerjack!" lol

[mtt.tr]

The reason it will hold is the second block underneath

[mtt.tr]

Oh I totally agree. I'm personally not keen on petzl I think a lot of what they do is over priced cheap equipment. Just putting minds at rest. It would personally put me off, it shouldn't happen.

 

And that sequoia buckle was bad. I bought a cheap singing rock harness timber 2 much nicer built than petzl and cheaper. I also now have a petzl lid sack of crap in comparison to my kask sadly the ear muff attachment keep breaking which is an expensive hobby. They had the same when they released the plastic gate crab. Surely they could see that wouldn't take abuse.

Lol.

 

He should of went to spiderjack..

[Stubby]

The reason it will hold is the second block underneath

 

So why not do away with he first block if its not needed ?? Should not happen . Design not tested enough . They test seat belts to destruction . Should be the same in my book .

[geoff]

So how does it work if you go for a Loler test on the cracked zigzag, it's going to fail, surely a case of 'not fit for purpose', yet Petzl say it's ok, its not life threatening, hmm...have I missed something here?
