What do you call cheap?

The facts as I understand them at present are ; Splicing is the modification of a CE marked piece of kit therefore no longer compliant Importation of non CE marked kit makes you a supplier - contrary to the requirement of the use of CE marked PPE I'm not in total agreement with the above, but that is what defines what is "fit for purpose". As is true for any legislation that is so broard reaching, it is predominatly positive in it's outcome, however in some limited but important areas it is obviously limiting

Good discussion. Sad and sorry state of affairs imo. Here is a pic of a factory splice next to a non-factory one. I bet you can tell which is which

That define you as competent? I'm not looking for a subjective answer suck as Kev's, I can come up with plenty myself. I need a definitive answer i.e. Who can and who can't........

Taken from AFAG 401 ; Tree climbing operations Splices should be made by someone competent to splice, eg the manufacturer. Competence should be demonstrable for each rope type. How would you define competence in this situation?

Afag 401; section 15 - then read the label in the helmet http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/afag401.pdf

I strongly disagree with you on the safety issue, although the wire does act as a keeper it also has a more important function. The wire acts as a spring holding the cam against the line. So when you lean back onto the system is grabs reliably. Without it you could find yourself fallind backwards until you hit your stopper knot. Not pleasant or safe IMO

Smash and crash only. If the big wood is staying and someone does not give a feck it's fast work as you know
