Hi, all:

I'm considering one of these top-of-tree friction devices, since I'm almost always working alone. Of course, I'm interested in your thoughts on two specific aspects:

  1. Anyone feel like weighing in with first-hand experience with them?
  2. I'd rather support the originator than the "big box." Here's one of Lawrence's vids with the original THT, and here's the current SafeBloc product as marketed by Sherrill. If David (X-Man) still sells them direct, I'd rather just buy from him. Not having much luck finding a current link though...:(

Thanks, CC. Shoulda used the search function! Helpful thread.

Also glad to hear that there was cooperation between David and Sherrill and not "thievery"!
 
Check the rigging wrench too Jeff. I was watching a video of my buddy the other day, and he was knocking off productive amounts of tree and having to feed line into the wrench setup.

SafeBloc is a heavy duty item for sure.

Cheers
