Pure class.....</div>

It seems like a no-brainer to me.<br /> Be sure to keep us posted about how they work for you.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">How cheap are they? <br /> <br /> Cheaper than the CT aluminums?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Hey <a href="https://www.treebuzz.com/forum/members/18618/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="18618" data-username="@Blessed Man">@Blessed Man</a> , I use the akimbo daily rotating between srs, mrs, crane work, and as a lanyard adjuster. I&#039;m 6&#039;2&quot; and 200-220 lbs depending on the week. I&#039;ve run blue moon, tachyon, fly, xstatic, and poison ivy through it.<br /> <br /> I use the xstatic exclusively for SRS, blue moon for MRS(now a lanyard), and tachyon to switch between both. Poison ivy was a friends that I used for a rec climb.<br /> <br /> I&#039;d strongly suggest the tachyon with a spliced eye on it to be a jack of all trades.</div>

That&#039;s a really good deal if their built as good as they were before</div>
