If we are going to start a Knuckle head ........I mean knuckle boom club, let's not limit it to kboom owners only! Let's include people who are thinking of getting one or just have interest in knucklebooms whether they work with them or not.

Wow this is more than I've posted in yrs. That's what happens when I'm down with a RUPTURED ABSCESSED APPENDIX! You are lucky all I have is this stupid iPad or I would load 50000 photos into MORE FUN WITH KNUCKLEBOOMS & 175 TON KNUCKLEBOOM if I had my pc.

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...
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...

...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...
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!

I agree. Good advice.
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.
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).

Excellent pic Tarzan.
I had Levi stop for a pic from his daily firewood duty.
I know, I know, the chaps need washing but I can't tell the kid anything. It was hard enough just to get him to smile.

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...
