Baa zing! I applaud your statement.

Shouldn't that read Native American Nation as in feathers not dots.:P

Ok, hard lay manilla with a taught line, my bad.;)

They should all start out with a closed system blakes hitch and body thrusting using arborplex:lol:

SWEET!

Is that a test of some sort to check gripping power?

Nice!

Two disimilar metals react with one another sometimes called bimetallic corrosion. I think it has something to do with their ionic charge but I could be wrong it has been awhile sense school.

Yeah I forgot about that. Maybe a harder replaceable aluminum wear surface and a softer body or the same material throughout.

How about a removable wear sleeve of tool steel and a ribbed aluminum body for cooling. I would think if you can get the two to mate tightly together the ally would cool the tool steel. But.. that might make it spendy.

I was thinking worst case, hitch failure, how very unlikely it is but it came to mind when I saw the design. The design is very close to the Tibloc aside from the teeth I would think it would provide some breaking effort, not much, but not true free fall speed.

I would ask you the same ? Shop day for me just dragging my feet. Yeah good point about the tripple action some times I forget about that. How about making some sort of bushing like the RW bushing I have read about some where. TB maybe? That might take the biener pickyness out of the equation...

Looking more at the design it looks like it would grab the rope better and slow your descent in the event of a free fall situation over a RW. Have you done any kind of that testing just asking?

Great minds and all, cheers B!

Chrome plate maybe. I was wondering if "grab" of the device is affected by rope diameter and construction? or do you have a set diameter limit? Or maybe try a delta screw link instead of a biener if there is room in the gate opening. Interesting design for sure I like it much better than the RW.
