    Cable hardware question

    We replaced all of the wedge grips we had ever done, we only purchased them once and started to experience the failures pretty quickly. I doubt that they were installed incorrectly but I wasn't the one installing them. The people who were installing them are smart, experienced cablers but also...

    Cable hardware question

    We bought them and installed them within a year of getting them, 2 years ago. I'm not sure if they were all the same batch, but there are lots of similar testimonies in the reviews online so it seems to have been many batches. We tried to reach out to the company but they never got back to us...

    Cable hardware question

    Beware the Wedge Grips. If you start actually reading the reviews online you will find that there is a significant number of them that gets manufactured poorly and fail in lighter wind loads. The inside part will just shear. My company switched to them because they are much easier and we ended...

    New device from ISC

    I also found the Ultra O fits nicely compared to all of my other carabiners.

    New device from ISC

    3 of us at my company recieved the Reflex yesterday. All of us are impressed by it and will most likely be using it as our go to for most work. I had 2 climbs yesterday, SRT pruning a big bur oak, and a crab MRS with a redirect on a pinto to try out since I got that with the shipment too...

    New device from ISC

    I saw a video of a Spanish, average build, climber on Xstatic where the reflex would not grab whatsoever unless manually opening the links. He said that he had it happen once before when he was working in Germany and that he thought it was due to how cold it was that day but now that its...

    Interested in hearing more about KM3 and Tachyon Ash with the Reflex if anyone has tried those.

    New device from ISC

    Did you end up trying out those other ropes where the older device failed to grab with the new device?

    Tree man.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're in pain and that you lost a friend. I lost a friend and coworker last year and it puts you in a very strange place. I think you are posting these things as a very misguided call for help and I think that talking to the people in your life who care about you would be...

    micro-mini chainsaw...one handed???

    Looks like AI to me, just doesn't behave like a chain Edit: also the text on the saw has that AI garbled look to it

    The Akimbo 2

    It would certainly be reasonable to expect any good arborist to have read the user manual on their life support device... I'll have to look next week

    The Akimbo 2

    Struggling to get the Akimbo 2 to work on Kalimba. I weigh 170ish lbs and have tried a lot around the C friction settings but had to put it down and go back to the akimbo 1 since I had a big spready silver maple to cable and prune. Going to try A1 next and B2 seems like it worked for others on...

    ISA Webpage

    I emailed them expressing my frustrations with the website, very annoying when you're trying to recertify.
