I don’t recall seeing any holes there but I have a cutting torch that is still novel.
-
That looks like it'll sit against wood worse than a normal biner.
-
I've thought for a while they look good. ISC and Harken do them too. Probably others. Only downside I can see compared to a ring is that the rope probably takes itself to the top of the tree if you drop it?

The best thing is that I get to use one of my comedy sized spanners (36mm). I have a 50mm one in the van, about two feet long, that I keep there to kill highwaymen. It owes me quite a lot in diesel at this point.

Just a big nut from a box of assorted nuts that I'm cobbling together something with.
-
Didn’t even get it all. Big recess.
-
Just because it's something I have, being used to bodge something that won't be there forever. M24 so not something that I have a load of plain ones lying around. Freezing's an idea. It seemed pretty in there, like in an internal radial groove.

Just spreading a bit of good news. In a world of disappointment as standard, I'm pleased to report that I've found a really useful website for buying nuts, bolts, washers etc. Nice drawings, sizes of everything etc. Easy visual browsing for finding something slightly unusual for a particular purpose. Good paperwork and packaging and sent DPD next day (one of the least awful couriers in my experience). https://www.accu.co.uk/ As a B side to this thread, since I'm on the topic, what's the best way of taking the nyloc insert out of a nyloc nut so you have a plain nut? I just burned one out with a map gas torch but that's a bit of a dirty way to do it. It wouldn't easily pop out with a screwdriver. Just chipped bits off it.

Can you take "your" climbing kit home at weekends?
-
How are they better than a steel biner besides the lack of (insiginficant in my opinion) spine bending? They look fiddlier and no faster.
-
Possibly unenforceable (legally or practically) writing. See several pages ago. -
Useful post.

I assume it’s fairly gradual on the pedal? Not like a mini boom offset where you press press press and get nothing and then suddenly the pedal gives and you dent the side of a house I can imagine it being very intuitive on a nice big rocking footplate pedal like a wah wah (guitar effect pedal).

Mark’s life is a fairytale. After seventeen glasses of the merlot that cruise ships use to swab the jacuzzis, his engineering degree just vanishes.

Beaters’ day so Sailor was standing around watching me shoot rather than tearing up woodland. Total twat, start to finish. This photo taken just after charging up to a set of picking-up labs like a pissed up blindside flanker wearing a motorbike helmet. I trod a massive tent peg in, put the lead over it and was sorting out my ear pro. Looked up and saw him at the end of his lead and still going. Couldn’t work out how. Snapped his collar. Bellend.

and some peanuts. Cheese to follow. No wine. Shop ****************ed me. Double Maxim is Sunderland’s competitor to Newcastle Brown Ale. I prefer it. Played a gig there this evening. No cash pay but two beers a man. My bandmates don’t drink and drive, the cowards. I should have worked this out earlier. I could have had eight.

I invent rooms in houses. I can picture, clear as day a fifth bedroom at my grandma’s house, on the left after the bathroom. I can describe the decor. I can picture standing in the doorway. It doesn’t exist. I’m not sure it even came into mental existence in a dream. Give it a few years of not being able to occasionally walk the hallway and see it doesn’t exist and I’ll probably start thinking it was really there.
-
Do you do a lot of tabbing in and out or tend to set and forget for a few minutes like the offset?
-
I’m currently eating somewhere around my seventieth bowl of pheasant curry since 1st October. You don’t know you’re born.
-
Much ado about nothing in Durham.
-
This is probably a good time to mention that I'm designing a rigging device. Hopefully have it for sale by the next APF. Will lift and lower way more than one mother.
-
Good job, archivist. You know, I think it only has the 2x45kg plates on in that shot. I have another 90kg one but it makes the operator's platform too high and my back hates it.
-
I can't find the picture of mine carrying a scaffold tower with my mum on. That's an advert for them.
-
The correct term there would be swivel.
