    No biggie Erik, I have been criticized a bunch by other guys, mostly from A.S. saying they wouldn't trust my work and that I'm not qualified to make these types of devices. Usually they change their mind when they see the video. But others stihl doubt me. It doesn't matter tho, because I now...

    home made gear

    @NETREE, I worked at a custom fabrication shop for 8yrs, a lot. Of it being critical pieces that held cars on semi trailers driving down the highways. To be honest, I trust my welds more than I trust some Chinese mass produced welds by some factory workers like the portys have....I stihl work at...

    Are those homemade portys powdercoated? I had a couple of my lowering devices powdercoated and they didn't hold up well to the rope running. They streaked my lines.. on my new ones I'm making I'm leaving the barrell raw with a light coat of oil to prevent rust or corrosion... The bollard straps...

    Bull Rigger Bollard

    In that case nick I think it would be best to have a dedicated biner to leave attached to the plate. It would also be helpful to use to hang the device with a sling while mounting the strap. And the biner could just stay there on the plate ready for action. I'll put one on mine and post a video...

    In that situation I recommend using a redirect pulley above the device to keep ithe rope at the the correct angle. I'm sure it will resist twisting, as the 4" strap does an excellent job of making it very solid. Also if it is at such a severe angle it would create an unwanted bend radius as the...
