Steve.. can you recall which was which...
Manufacturer didn't support the stitching?

Or

Wesspur didn't support the numbers they were seeing with their iron street numbers?

Maybe the scenario has changed now? I swear ive seen sewn breaking strengths on Teufelbergers site.. maybe I'm mistaken?




Gordon.. looking to pick one of these up..

Curious.. are you looking into the Art Swivel or one of the few different Swivel attatchments that get pinned through the Art Positioner, LockJack, etc. As far as i know, there's a few different sizes. You've probably already thought of this though.

Wesspur was unhappy with the break test numbers with the stitching

Ahh ic. Thank you. So that must mean Wesspur was unhappy with Iron Street's sewn numbers.

I double checked what i thought i had seen on Teufelberger's site & oddly enough they have posted MBS's on Sewn terminations, which to me looked like a pretty acceptable strength loss ratio. 7/16 was 6900 & the 1/2 was something like 8200..

Which says to me, one of two things. T-bergs # are wrong (which i would want to hope are accurate)... Or the unacceptable difference Wesspur/Iron Steet saw had to have something to do with their chosen sewing method/pattern not being as effective...? But that's just me making a quick speculation here..
 
I look forward to a video Gordon. While descending SRT are you controlling with both sets of nubs, or just the lower set using the top like a wrench?

I assume you'd feather both set of nubs in a MRS..?
 
Yes, it seems to be as you say. In SRT it works to use the middle arm, much like a hitch below the fully engaged top arm, while in MRS you may well need to have the middle arm fully released, while feathering the top arm, which can be done with one hand.

Slick. I wanna try. Looks like a possible alternative to the zag/wrench combo
 
Joey I think it does just as you say, it blurs the line. There are no users of either the SRT/MRS BOLA, nor the adjustable BOLA. I think tho that the regular BOLA works much the same and is lighter. As for the SRT/MRS BOLA, I have moved on to the compact Bulldog OAR design, which is also lighter. There are 2 users of the compact OAR, and both have given positive feedback. The NZ user says that he uses it on his hook line, and not his primary line. (He uses a Bulldog Bone for his primary line)

If you're looking for testers, I'd love to demo that. looks slic and the lever squeeze might work on my preferred 10mm lanyard
 
I think It is a very interesting design, and I find it is helped as far as gripiness with a pin or bolt through the center. It needs a bit of retooling with regard to the thickness on the aluminum pieces, which sadly would be costly. I think tho that its best (only?) application would be as a lanyard adjuster.
