I had an issue with the husky 540I top handle on two of the real hot humid days here, full battery but saw would keep triggering the overload, grabbed the milwaukee top handle and it ran without issue. I remember when the top handle milwaukees first came out there was reports of melted batteries...
Only rope I’ve ran so far that I personally didn’t like it with is the Marlow Maverick, the rope runs hot for whatever reason even flaking it fast into the bag the rope gets hot in the hand. It tends to creep on me if I run it and if I bump the friction up it’s too stiff but that’s just my...
Beat me to the experimentation! I didn’t have the DMM grommet but I did have the grommet inserts from my Gyro 3, however they’re slightly undersized so I used one of the rubber locks from a DMM wire gate tool carrier to keep it from sliding down the spine. I’ll give it an official run tomorrow...

For hardware this is a decent bag, a guy I ran into found a very very similar style bag for hiking for less. I can’t remember what it...
I’ll echo ghostice and say I really didn’t mind the AK2 in Mrs, I was running it on a Kinisi, using a slightly lengthend bridge for the splice and shortened the second bridge for actual device attachment. It’s smooth and very workable, running through a pulleysaver I did not have to change my...
If your top “bird” on the akimbo 2 is very stiff even on the “a” setting it’s going to seem backwards but try the C or D setting actually makes the bird far easier to break/operate smoother.
I’ve rented a Norstar here in MI from a marketplace guy, I had zero complaints about it, he’s had it two years now and aside from another contractor rigging spar directly into the trailer and denting the floor up pretty good it’s actually held up really well, pulled well enough with 7k# worth of...
Also have a set of Distel Aluminum gaffs with their “medium” gaff, honestly wanted to love these but my preferred spurs are the Edelrid talons they’re just so natural with my long legs. These were great, not really used for more than 15 or 20 climbs total? Just prefer my talons. Looking to get...
If it was just clearing/opening the road the cities I had worked for would call based off the overtime list, all employees were trained in proper chipper and chainsaw operation, any calls that warranted aerial operation went specifically to those qualified and able to use the bucket...
No direct publication, however my area (SE Michigan) what’s reported (key word there “reported”) tends to be secondary or house drop voltage and if I had to guess it’s because the lower voltage numbers aren’t as intimidating and the M.a.d is simply avoid contact leading to less overall concern...
I’ve seen guys successfully pull branches away from primary only to have the branch swing back into the line before throwing, I’ve also seen guys be “poked” (indirect contact) through down guys on maple trees that were in contact down the lead. Most of the fatalities in the last couple years...
Maverick is a blue moon 2.0 to me, it milks ALOT but has a decent overall feel but does get HOT even flaking quickly into a bag running through your hands it gets hot so if you’re into bombing out you may see glazing rather quickly
