Surely that's misuse, like ragging it on full throttle while the clutch slips? Otherwise I can't see how to wear the inside of the drum so much before the teeth come off the sprocket.

I mostly use Gustharts now to be honest, they seem pretty straightforward.

The wires shouldn't rip out as the outer sleeve of the cable is locked in the back of the connector. I've had some connectors where if you put a cable tie round nice and tight it stops it pulling back, although my current plug is a metal one I found in local ag dealer and that's been good. Also , it helps to put bootlace ferrules on the wires as this stops them breaking individual strands at the corner of the screw clamp. Won't stop the cable pulling back though.

Hmm, this is a modern beat combo I'm not familiar with.

That's really tempting. I usually shy away from the expensive jackets because I reckon they vary in rain resistance but all have approximately the same silky resistance.

You could start an eBay shop.

That's the old "hitting X with hammer £1, knowing where to draw X £999" story in action. Offer to sell him a refurbished cover for £50 ? Then he should come back next time the saw breaks.

I like that, I could handle hearing that theme tune every time I climb. Much like I spring up like a ninja every time I put my Harken Ninja foot ascender on...

Agree. I think we've had people on here trying in vain to source blades for JCB chippers too...

I was always told the water will condense in the chimney and form mild acid , especially bad if you have brick chimney as it takes mortar out.

One horizontal and one vertical feed roller too.

That's getting close...

That's because you use it for forestry not climbing, we've seen the pictures.

Boring but reliable ...... 150 Never changed any plastic covers on it. Maybe it's a Toyota Auris.

I've never had a Unicender in my hand but I believe they have a set of C shapes bit like this to make it midline attachable - so it's possible to not have this break, Petzl just didn't manage it.
