    HH2 is slightly more compact and lighter and has a more durable finish, other than that they are functionally the same.

    Stig I was hoping you had an epiphany and came up with a way to taper and seal the end in 13 seconds:lol:

    Stig how did you keep a tapered end to be able to glue it. I do this with the whipping but that is tedeous....

    I am still awaiting Yale to do the testing, aparently Yale is still waiting to hear back from ISA as to what tests they want done........... Cannt sell within the US till they are independantly tested, probably shouldnt sell any where but figure the chances of litigation are way less.....

    Im guessing thats because I cut the cord so close to the whipping , hopefully the super glue will do the trick. FWIW my 2 month old cord still has its original whipping, maybe I just know how to treat a rope:lol: However having 1 tapered end is essential.

    Stig, one end of the cord is whipped, I have since yours started to drip some super glue on that end to keep it from fraying. The other end with the tape is GTG IMO as it can always be left with a stopper knot. Keep us informed about your experience.

    What rope are you using Bonner?? Im running yale Buzzz and the 10mm works awesome with it, worked well with Forestry Pro also. Dave I havent seen the stopper knot tail shorten in all the time Ive been using it, as it sets it introduces slack into the hitch but Ive never seem the tail move???

    Wow Dave, that is super cautious IMO. I shoot to have 1" of tail. Also before you go playing with different hitches use the 5 wrap prussik for a while to get used to it, make sure when you load the HH with body weight that the bottom of the 4th wrap is about 1.5 inches above the HH, no more...

    I have let a few folks from abroad purchase them as I feel the likelyhood of a suit is minimal. Next week Yale will test them then we will make them available in the US.
