Aluminum Rope Wrench Tether for Hitch Climber

[MikePowers321]

Just sharing ideas..

Dude! Nice. I love the art work. That thing will last forever.

Looks really nice mike. Does it swivel where the tether and snap connect? Or is it totally stiff?

 

[Worthaug]

^same question...

 

[MikePowers321]

totally stiff...I caked the swivel with super glue and epoxy.

 

[MikePowers321]

It has three rivets holding everything together tightly as well (you can see one right in the center of the guitar, thought that was a cool touch) The snap fits very tightly which is my favorite part. There is hardly any play.

But like anything else, I need to abuse it for a while to see how much I like it.

Problem is, I'm still in love with the Bone.

Sweet. So do you clip the snap and then attach tether to rope second?

I attach the wrench first, then clip in to the pulley...I'm sure the other way works just as well. Just my habit

 

[JontreeHI]

That's what I do too, what seems natural. I was wondering if the snap was so stiff that the curve of it makes it so you have to do it reverse.

 

[MikePowers321]

Nope, just torque the whole system sideways.

I have a similar set up and love it. Dug up an old one: http://www.treebuzz.com/forum/threads/rope-walker-help.25820/page-2

That's sweet. I like how it bows out for hand clearance. I'm behind the times I suppose : )

Reon Rounds just did a video of his/their latest version with a spring assist head. I want one, or two lol.

Would you do my homework for me...post a link to the vid?

I made a stiffy out of a 9" runner and heat fuze that clips to the hitchclimber just like that with a wichard key pin shackle.
Def. not as cool as yours, but the action is really nice!

I like it. I'd buy one

Looks too long to me...

I'm thinking you could potentially cut it smaller and use all of those holes above if needed. Not sure if the diameter of the holes and spacing is made for that though

I just wanted to let you know that I miss reading you around here. You added a lot to this forum, especially with your knowledge of rope and splicing. I hope you are doing well.
