Jeff, You have a nice selection of gear picked out there. All of it will be useful to you for as long as you're in the tree business. Add a couple of Loopie slings and a few CMI heavy duty loop runners and you'll be ready to tackle some rigging. Joel

Sean, I don't believe that the shape of the sheave is as important as the bend radius provided by the sheave. The large Rig and Ring (for example) provides no form-fitting groove for the rope. The most important factor with the Rig and Ring is the fact that when the two rings are sandwiched...

Spellfeller, I should add here that many inexperienced guys tend to make purchases that can serve multiple duties.....mostly in an effort to extend the dollar. This is OK....so long as the item being purchased does not cross over from rigging to climbing. Just as an example.....I own a...

Spellfeller, No matter which rigging gear you decide to purchase, it's very important to follow a few safety rules. Rigging gear is never to be used as climbing gear, and visa versa. Keep your rigging and climbing gear separate. Rigging gear can take quite a beating. You don't ever want...

Jeff, Sean made a good point. The CMI block...at 100 bucks....isn't really all that cheap. However, I view purchases of this sort in a different way. Something cheap......just to get you by for a while......may not be a good investment if it ends up under a pile of other things that you...

Jeff, Yes. I agree that the Pinto Rig pulley does not offer the same rope protection as a true arborist block. However, the Pinto Rig Loopie is so handy when doing redirects or when working alone doing dead limbing. The Pinto Rig is not mid-line attachable, but I rarely find this to be...

Sean, My fault. Yes. Rigging BLOCK. This one.....http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=0&item=1505 http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=197&item=9012 http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=327&item=1853...

Sean, I only added the 3/4" CMI pulley because it's cheap....very strong.....and very useful for ground based redirects. My favorite rigging rope is the Sterling Atlas in 9/16". I use it for almost everything related to rigging. Just love that rigging rope. Joel

Jeff, When working alone, it's very difficult to beat the Rig and Ring sold by TreeStuff. You can set this into a tree from the ground. The large Rig and Ring has a huge safe working load limit. It will likely be the only top rigging setup you'll ever use for light rigging. The large Rig...
