Snap hook safety warning from ISA

[Jesse]

Here is the ISC snap:

 

[Waldo]

does anyone know where i can find one?

 

[NickfromWI]

Maybe treestuff.com will be stocking them soon? They carry some of the other snaps....

they arent out till january.

they are very good. at first the operation seems like it might be a little awkward, but its surprising how quickly you get used to it. ive been using it for a couple of weeks now and am very happy with it.

I agree with this warning, some of these snaps are really easy to open. Really easy.

I don't like this warning. It doesn't say they are easy to open. It doesn't say anything. All it says is that "there is a safety concern."

I like the looks of them. Ill have to get one!

I got an email from treestuff. They're thinking they'll have them some time in January. I'm ordering one for sure. If I should order more, let me know!

love

i like being able to disconect fast. I think that is like ranger danger says, pretty important. Im going to stick to using the quick snaps.

 

[NickfromWI]

I have a feeling that after a couple of climbs, this is gonna be just as fast.

 

[treebing]

yeah. I guess its worth it. I really dont like using carabiners though. If they can get best of both worlds than hell yeah.
