Yeah, me too. Had another person move into the house and work is on a low swing so I'm out canvasing the neighborhood in "spare" time aside from being daddy at home. The vid is falling low on the list of daily priorities lately. Sorry guys.

Looks hilarious but the print is too small to read...

Marinating.

Hah! Pleased to meet you Chris, I'm Aaron. I have a window of "free time" tomorrow, we'll see what happens. :thumbup:

Believe whatever you will, makes no difference to me. I can understand a healthy screen of skepticism but to believe the anti-thesis of every proposition is the road to madness. I'm still around and very busy. When I can take a moment to shoot a vid, I'll get Maui in the shot. I'm an arborist...

:dontknow: While one could certainly give you more specs about the tool itself...what would they know about it's uses in tree business? I've met a few mountain/rock climbers that think tree climbing is for kids. If I'm still a kid at heart and able to climb/trim trees like my boss was doing...

Well then by popular and admin request, I'll get 'er dun in the next few days!

For you, I will compose one. :thumbup:

Now that's just crazy! :goodluck: With a moderate swing, I can bury the point of this thing into wood far enough to make it extremely difficult to remove. Coastal, salt cured ironwood and keawe (mesquite) is an exception. Taking the corner off the blade bevel would increase it's penetration...

It'll be a week at best to get a vid up, but I will work on it! Very busy in the mean time. The efficiency is that it turns all types of branch/limb/trunk holds into the same contoured hand hold, that I no longer need to repeatedly open, close and adjust my hand grip/position to navigate. It...

I totally understand. But a triple grip, ice/rock/wood/anything climbing hooker rated as cat 2 PPE made in Italy, is a happy hooker! Adding the nose guard to mine eliminated all cut/puncture worry. I can ascend with confidence and instantly hook/sit/rest whenever I want to. Ripping/smashing...

Another great use for the Monster X or similar tool is on horizontal limbs/branches over roofs. The majority of my jobs are residential and enviably, the home owner builds their house under a tree then wants it cut down! If there is a higher limb to pull and lower from, great, but what if...

Looked him up....thanks for the compliment. Hah! :P If I can't find a thing, I make a thing. Wait till you get a load of my next invention: The "Batsaw." :|:

Had to look that up, pretty cool tool! Might have to fab my own... Found something there I'm definitely going to order: https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=105&item=1287 A nylon pant belt with a V-ring attachment point. This plus my Monster X and daisy chain combo =...

You're welcome! I arrived at this thing through a series of fabricated tools. First was a "hook-a-roon", simply a metal hook and upward point spike on the end of a 6ft pole. I made it for a huge Keawe job (Mesquite) where each tree was covered in 2 inch spikes. Needless to say it made...

No worries, I've developed some tough internet skin. One of my playgrounds is a debate forum where atheists, religionists and all manner of people hash out their particulars as humans have been doing for thousands of years. I like to keep tabs on the pulse of the world mind and insert a little...

Thanks Burnham, nice to be here! One of the many things I appreciate about tree work is that it's an art refine-able to the operator, with many different ways of going about the same tasks. This tool is the pinnacle of my particular climbing style in the trees I commonly work in; usually...

Good question. I have found it to be extremely improbable. I tested the "loose grab" action of the hook by placing it over a horizontal branch and whipping the line attached to the handle from 3 feet away. It would not come of the tree. I had to grab the tool itself and remove it by hand...

That is the sensible thing to do, teaspoons and butter knives are only for tea and butter...;)

Me? I thought the "question mark face" followed by "sneaky eyes" translated as "What the heck?!?....hey I can think of a few uses for this thing!" My response translates as "Oh yes you can!" "Heavenward thumb" and "Made in the shade." My only "game plan" here is a more safe, capable, and...
