Another mk2 zig zag fail

[Backpain]

I find this really scary. I'm an engineer and have worked in the aerospace industry. I personally think there's an issue with the links, probably stress propagation from lazer cut stainless steel is my assumption but I don't work for Petzl and don't know the processes. Don't think they've got the manufacturing process under control or the heat treatment is making them brittle so they fail under fatigue.

 

Doesn't happen with a piece 10mm beeline.......

Thought about going for one of these to replace my hitch climber, perhaps shouldn't bother....

Mk 3. ZigZag is out now, haven't heard of any developing cracks so far......

Can I still get my zig zags mk1 replaced? A mate gave it to me so I have no receipt

[TTP]

Only if it breaks I think

[Will Heal]

It's not broken yet but if it does I don't think I'll be needing a new one!

[TTP]

Ha yer true but don't quote me on that it might be worth taking it to your local shop that deals with them and windle a new one

Someone on another thread said they took one in and its no questions asked, they just replaced it....

MK1 they will replace regardless of if its broken. Don't quote me on it but i believe they will replace even without a receipt, you might have to contact Lyon the distributor direct though.

I think Steve is right as the MK1 was recalled, here is a link to lyons web site

I'm not sure on the situation if its a mk2 as a lot of the time warranties don't go with the product when it changes owners.
