I have just over 100' of 1/2" All Gear Pro Force line. HMPE core inside a polyester cover. I emailed All Gear asking for eye splice instructions but have not heard back yet. Anyone have a set of instructions for this type of rope construction...
Anecdotally, I use 1/2" ultra slings as chokers for our chipper winch lines. They get beat to hell but protect the winch line itself from wear. The hook from the chipper goes to whatever pocket is convenient. We've stalled the chipper winch on pulls that were too heavy to budge or where the...
I recently acquired a Petzl Grillon. Second hand but looks to never be used. I wasn't super familiar with the device prior to buying it, but it was part of a bulk purchase, so now I have it. After doing some research, all the grillon devices I can find online have a swing arm to release the...
@joshuarov - I also took note how you redirected the fall of the static rigging line that had the prusik on it. Assuming that was done to keep it free from clogging the drop zone. It looked like it had a bit of tension on it. Was there a weight on it at the bottom, or was it basal tied and...
If I'm not mistaken the downrigger has multiple pathway options for the rope to route through the device for different friction amounts. I only had someone show it to me briefly after they fished it out of the back of their truck, but I was impressed with it's compact size and functionality...
There are certain things I don't carry two of, but that's because I usually know how to macgyver a solution. If my masdam rope puller fails, I can build MA systems. If my foot ascender fails, I can footlock. If you had an old timey hand crank drill auger, you'd have been set!
There's an old saying...."two is one and one is none.". You're not the first to be caught with your pants down. There are slipups in manufacturing and QC all the time generally speaking. Power tool manufacturing is not a 100% success rate. It might be close, but not 100. If you get multiple...
I did a zig zag search on amazon and found the one you bought. At least the business as listed as being in the US. I would love to know how an electronics reselling company finds themselves selling zig zags.
the butterfly II was the first harness I ever bought. Bought it back in the mid 2000s I think. I still have it. Its hanging on the wall in my garage. Put a lot of sweat into that thing.
I see your free climbing removal and raise you a "f*@k you I'll go get that branch to make you look like a b*@ch" removal.

If it seems too good to be true I am skeptical of it's legitimacy. Probably charges $100 for shipping. I could be wrong but $50 is so low it's smells of scam bait.
I sold mine to him. Funny story...Turns out I actually know @Rope_goat. Even funnier story...he lives 20 minutes from me so I just drove over there and handed him the device lol. can't get that on FB marketplace.
Yeah. I actually bought one from Rico little while ago. I was trying to broaden my horizons but just don't see myself ever using it. It's brand new. I'll send pics later today when I get home.
