This is the Akimbo

[fitz]

Just curious if there has been anything else like it???

Sure there have been a few, probably the closest was the Rope Runner, I thought it was cool how Kevin enlisted the experts here to test and tweak the design.

Mike. Arborist Supply: the new OLD treestuff.

I hear that, never had a business try so hard to loose me as a customer and not care. I guess the NEW treestuff doesn't care about a customer that's spent thousands of dollars with them, I'm just small beans to them now.

rant over

Mike. Gap Arborist Supply: the new OLD treestuff.

I'll second that with emphasis.
Ray, Kyle, Josh, and others at Gap Arborist Supply really go out of their way with their "Customer Service!"
How do you think I've learned their names?
Send them an email or call and get a response the same day will real info, no smoke or canned responses, and NO ATTITUDE.
These guys are real tree guys who have done what we do.
They are my new go to.

We seriously need to support these smaller guys who actually care about their customers and the industry because they are trying not to be crushed by the likes of PREezilla .

Vote with your dollars
Gap Arborist Supply, Sheltertree, Bartlett Arborist Supply, and others.

Does anyone have any insight on the cancer warning?

I hope this is just regulatory nonsense.

You can only get cancer if you're using it in California, something to do with liberals not reacting well working with their hands.

This Norcal, liberal/redneck, tree killing/treehugging, gun packing/pacifist officially challenges you to a Polish hand wrestling completion Fitz. Your not allowed to go whining back home to PA if you end up with a few busted fingers though..

Nickel acetate is used for electroplating - a metal finishing process. Nickel salts have been found to be carcinogenic when ingested - please do not eat your Akimbo.

I was in PA a few years ago. Spent 2 weeks in Pittsburg, then a month with some friends in the hills of West Virginia. Some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen, and I absolutely loved Pittsburg.
