    Pfanner Gladiator pants

    Guys, FYI - yesterday we decided to drop Pfanner pants from our catalog for a couple of reasons, a big one being this perception that SherrillTree is over charging for the product. As said before on the Buzz, the chainsaw protected pant approved for the US market is different from the Euro...

    Sherrill's PI splice

    Re: Sherrill\'s PI splice Banjo, My concern about this thread had more to do with splice quality than herniation in a splice performed by someone other than SherrillTree in a rope over a year old, or as in your case (as put forth in your pm last night), a rope at least 3 years old and bought...

    Sherrill's PI splice

    Re: Sherrill\'s PI splice Guys & Banjo, Am back in town now and have thoroughly investigated this splicing issue. Let me start by explaining one important detail. We take our splicing product VERY seriously. It is the only thing we manufacture in house and, as Nic mentioned, is managed by...

    Sherrill's PI splice

    Re: Sherrill\'s PI splice Casey, It's not splitting, rather the cover strands are parting due to the acute bend of the tight eye, the thinness of jackets in this popular kernmantle. As described this poses no safety issue because both core and jacket are still in full support of the spliced...

    Tree Stuff has Tree Motion

    We've been selling the tm at $499 for many months now. It came available to others only recently. Great, great product. If the price comes down it will be the same reason as always, dealers laying waste to meager margins to gain ST customers. That's life.

    Sherrill's PI splice

    Re: Sherrill\'s PI splice Guys, A friend pinged me about this thread. I'm currently out of town and will be back in the shop on March 3rd. Have asked the production manager to gather Yales recommendations for review when i return. We follow the rope manufacturers recommendations (which are...

    No more Pfanner in Canada

    The legal issues referred to by Nick above in his search to buy direct were likely during the time that Pfanner was registering (through UL) to sell in the US. Don't know enough about the whole exercise to provide a clearly detailed answer, only know it was considerable work. We also think the...

    No more Pfanner in Canada

    I apologize for the distrust in SherrillTree sewn by certain posters over differing costs but the fact is that pants produced for the UK do not meet the USA standard (as tested by UL last year). Please feel free to confirm this fact with Bernd Pfanner. Pfanner went through much trouble to...

    Silky America no more?

    What a dismal attitude. Why do folks put up with such negativity from those with so little to contribute? Can bet I don't keep shut when people talk trash about you guys. Sad.

    Tight Eye or Girth Eye?

    Really Nick? "Even most companies tight eyes are too big?" Have yet to hear that about our work. The system you're referring to above was not the reason for long eyes, that system came a distant second. Connecting the splice to a rope snap was a bigger part of the reason for long eyes in the...

    new bigshot configuration

    Someone mentioned tubing elasticity inconsistency above. Having just spoken with manufacturer they say it's highly unlikely that there would be any humanly noticeable variance in elasticity within range of durometer spec. Said the more possible occurrence would be that someone in factory mistook...

    new bigshot configuration

    First, I misspoke that I had no flub in firing the new model because I clearly recorded one shortly after switching to hand-operated process. Recalled it being different model when writing. RB, * The new design IS the hybrid you're seeking as described above. * Have never heard this about the...

    new bigshot configuration

    Hey guys, Did as promised today (Sat. Dec 12th) and tested the new and old Big Shot types. Day was cloudy and cold (38-d) in G’boro, perfect for being outside. Sorry this detail is so long but what it took to describe. Intent this day was to test 3 Big Shot versions with about 10 shots under...

    new bigshot configuration

    Jeff, Let me try and verify that the one you got from Vermeer is "the latest version." Between the finger hold and yellow pouch are the straps sewn together (like attached image)? This is the latest version. We used to provide rubber tubes long enough for even the original Bigshot (it had...
