    Palfinger Kboom Improvements

    You betcha! I've literally spent hours talking with Kboom owners (over the phone, emails, and even texting). I've talked to both stick boom owners and Kboom owners. Some have also been kind enough to let me see their fiancials. That has been helpful as well. I was sold on the idea, the...

    Palfinger Kboom Improvements

    The addition to Kbooms on the Buzz has prompted some Kboom research. (I've already spent hours, days and weeks into it). Things change and improve. I've found this stabilization control system video. Looks like an advantage for Palfinger...

    Nice. All around. 2 pusher axles will be great to distribute weight on concrete. Looks like you're having fun!

    pulley/ rack combo

    [ QUOTE ] ...You might be saying why not just get a uniascender, the original was O.K. Bit clunky with slack and I never liked the idea of looping the rope over top to manage friction occasionally. Still a fine piece of equipment. The new version seems flimsy to me. I regularly wore out lock...

    Rope Wrench vs Unicender

    Good news. I gotta get a Wrench for my Uni then. I've been ascending straight up with the Uni for about 3 years now.

    Rope Wrench vs Unicender

    I missed this thread?! I love the title of the thread. It lured me in for sure. Question or clarification for Dave and Lonniels: I can see that a descent would be nice. But, can you assure me the ascent is smooth? A short video would be sweet!

    Kong Futura Foot Ascender Comments

    Since this is not a life support piece of gear... I'll ask if anyone uses this. Anyone use the Kong Foot Ascender? It looks like a better product. It looks better to adjust, smaller and won't wiggle around.

    Health Insurance Benefits

    I wonder if the influence of the labor unions have pressured employees to think they are entitled to someone else providing health benefits for them.

    Health Insurance Benefits

    Dang. Are you covering just individuals or families? I'd be looking into covering 3 individuls and possibly 1 family. However, it would be best for me to cover all of them individually. I'd be looking at dishing out $2,400/yr. per employee (if it was individual coverage for all of them).

    I'm an advocate for child labor!

    Re: I\'m an advocate for child labor! Some one pointed out a good observation to me the other day: He said, "When we were growing up, our parents had to yell at us to get back in the home. Now days, parents are yelling at the kids to get out of the home." His point was in the context of...
