3D Printed gear hooks

[metaquercus]

I have a solution: print a 3D wire-style gate that spring loads and add it to that hook and you got yourself an original, that nobody can claim is a ripoff. I humbly accept 20% of the proceeds.

I was thinking of a dovetail joint and a rubber gate, once I get a few ideas, I will renew my fusion 360 license and make some new ones

Sounds great, good luck with it! In the future if I need a gear stowing device I'll take a look this way so not to have to spend half the cost of a new saddle on a metal hook.

I like the fact that the material looks rated for a certain weight, and to break if more weight is applied. The aluminum construction of the Shembiner will not break away as easily. Looks like a very good improvement on a very good product.

I have pulled about 60 or so pounds on these, without breaking, maybe I should get a fish scale and break one soon, then I can atleast load rate them

although if a top comes out, or a big limb and it snags whatever is on this hook, im very sure it will break away, but its not breaking under normal use (I have accidentally caught my slings that were hanging on these hooks while walking, and the hook held)

I like the open hook style, at least for saw stowing.... it is very easy to stow/deploy a saw from. I was using a transporter for this before, don’t get me wrong I love the transportor (a lot) but sometimes deploying the saw one handed was a challenge, especially with cold or gloved hands.

Right that's why I like this idea as well. I have a shembinner and love it. So I know I'll like these. I want 1 at some point but all my carritools are new so I don't need 1 yet. But when I do I'll be getting 1 of these.

Gee, what the heck happened to the original "3d printed Shembiner style gear hook" title? A little too honest for ya Sap?

Stolen from Marv wayyyyyy back in early '70-s then

Who gets the credit...and royalties

today I rooted out the remains of my first harness Marv got me a belt that we reconfigured

look at the hook made from round stock and the remains of the other hook made from flat stock. This was built in about ‘75 maybe ‘76

where did the original hook come from?

Does it still fit? I still have my custom Blair saddle from about 1986 or so but I'm sure it wont fit

All that I have is the butt strap part. It fits..but it would be painful
