I used that set up at the start and didnt like it. You wanna get a crab with a flat top like the ISC HMS Mini 3 Way Karabiner. It will all stay in line then., works for me:thumbup:
-
I wasnt worried about fragile targets, i was wondering what would happen to the expensive throw weight. I work in london and do lots of private square gardens with lots of mature 25 - 30m planes and most are all or partly over roads/hard surfaces. Occationally my throw bag pings off a branch and drops full pelt 20m + onto tarmac/york stone. Its that sort of scenario im wondering about. I know it has that foam cover but that has to seriously impeed performance?? Just picking your brain as i am interested.

Hey OMT would you be worried about it dropping onto hard surfaces??
-
haha:laugh1: spot on.
-
The TM is light enough as it is any way. Must be for compitition heads??
-
I use a sherrill wingman for storing my pulley saver and various bits so its the only thing (apart from my saw and lanyard) hanging off my belt. Its larger than i had imagined it and was a bit wary about using it full time on my harness as it looked like it would get in the way a lot but due to its flat design it doesnt. Its triple the price of the stein bags but when you put them next to each other you see why. Very well made.

ive done plurotus on logs, works well

What are the other pesticides we are going to see in thier place??
-
As its on a stump they may take a while to fruit as there is the whole root system for it to inhabit aswell. If the tree is still live, ring bark the tree at the base then wait 2 weeks for the polyphenols to die down then innoculate!!
-
Or if your really paranoid, get a Ropeguide, its got a fall arrest system in it!

What oil/varnish is best to use on an oak dining room table??? i want to keep its natural colour but make it fairly hard wearing at the same time. Help anyone??
-
I cant comment on the lockjack but i will highly recommend the spiderjack.
-
I have only ever seen that in London Plane, i believe its called bottle butt. Caused by decay in the stem.
-
even if you did want one, with shipping its around $1000 US!
-
They are designed for ddrt. You will also need something with a pulley as an anchor to get optimum performance:thumbup:

been there myself very recently, happened right in front of us even!!! we now never leave saws unattended for a second. Hard lesson to learn im affaid. were even thinking of investing in a long lockable chain/wire for when were in site. there seems to be an increasing problem.
-
what he said, they are great once mastered!!!
-
says there was 2 identical failures!!
-
you couldnt fell the trees quick enough!!!
-
The ZZ is able to decend very fast, with an abrupt stop over a long distance could it get to 4kn??
-
I just think think the cross loading can happen too easily on the ZZ and it was not given enough consideration in testing. The SJ comes with rubbers to keep it alined on the bottom crab for instance. Anything can fail if set up incorrectly, but the time it took from release to first failure highlights how easily this can be done. Sometimes my crab crossloads on my swivel but hey at least it still has 8kn compares to 1-2kn of the ZZ which is very easy to generate.
-
cool, i want one. How robust does it feel??
-
ART Cocoon vs. ART Link pulley?? noticeable difference?
coleman replied to Tom Mabbutt's topic in Climbers talk
I retrieve my pulley saver with a throwline and double snapper everytime! but i do work over hard surfaces most of the time. -
my kids thought that was funny, my daughter is now wondering what bondage is!
-
shame. im sure this will put a lot more people off.
