Rope Wrench safety??

[PCTREE]

Thought you guys using the Wrench might want to think about this idea.... Simply put a $2 spring between the hitch and the pulley and it will ensure your hitch always grabs. I don't have a Wrench so haven't tried it but it works well on a Hitch Hiker and I think it should here to..

Wow. At least somebody is thinking..

Clever idea, may have to give it a go. Thanks.

Simply interesting

interestingly simple

Cool idea, Paul! There will be many variables in applications to play with. One that comes to mind is the use of two interlocking springs that would allow changing the length by simply treading the two together.

You are always thinking Dave!

 

[PCTREE]

Dave is indeed a thinker!!

 

[pete mctree]

Great idea & I can see it's application helping a great deal

If that's a concern you need to spend some more time with P90X.

I am amazed at the ingenuity of the treeman to keep coming up with innovations. Kudos.

You sure have a way of making me feel stupid. Lol

Very nice!

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and found this thread. How long does this spring need to be? Any photos?
Sounds really smart.

Welcome to the TreeHouse, my friend. Butch is my name - yours?

How did you find us?

The idea showed promise at first but after playing with it for a bit I found the hitch has the tendency to eat the spring, get tangled in it. Maybe if you put a spring in a webbing tube??? Spring length is dependent on the length of your hitch legs. This was just an idea due to me worrying about hitches failing to grab on SRT systems.....

Thanks for reply. Makes sense but I think I'll give it a miss.
I started using a RW in February and I'm loving it. SRT just makes more sense for access and work position, IMO.
