RBJ you are correct this setup is dangerous, and no I haven’t climbed a tree with it yet- just ascent and descent on rope. I will have to be super cautious because there is no spring in the system to set friction before pre weighting the line.
Hey Kenny thanks for posting this video. Some guys can be real harsh and it takes an honest guy to admit he’s made mistakes. I’m curious what happened after you cut your fingers? Did you have bandages sent up? Did you self rescue? How bad where the cuts?
Thanks

Hello Daniel,
Many thanks for contacting us, and we are really sorry for your desagrement.
We are already on work with Corey for providing you with a new tool. We are also aware about your discussions about the handle failure on your tree-buzz forum.
We can also thank you to...
I’m curious how they would feel about the high stepper? The cable in the retracting reel doesn’t have a coating and it’s probably a no go in Comp. They rescheduled the Comp due to rain. It’s going to be held on Nov 3
This device is the quickest thing on and off rope, well the Akimbo May be faster but man does it tend like a dream on ascent. It wasn’t very smooth on descent kind of jumpy but I only used it four times so this might have smoothed out with time. I can’t trust this device and will never climb on...
The taz lov2 box it came in was closed but it was flimsy cardboard, the outer shipping box was in good shape no damage. I inspected the device and didn’t notice anything off, but when I recieved the new one and started really looking into the plastic handle there are imperfections everywhere...
This TazLoz went directly from the box it was shipped in- onto 11mm snakebite. I made four 15’ ascents/descents,on the way down my fourth descent I heard the crack! This is extremely disturbing to me for this device is one of few allowed in climbing competitions! I’ve put a ton of rope tools...
Update on the 16’ Stanley tape, first one pictured on the left I’ve put it through a ton of ascents and its still pulling strong. Fresh build on the right for a co worker, he’s waiting to dial it in with his chest harness but it pulled well on the bench- even with this heavy ass ascender!
