Bermy, that's what I got often in the pines, spruces or cedrus. I don't use a false crotch but a piece of a tubular webbing as a cambium saver. Handy for my style, but that spreads very well the occasional pitch on the rope. The cedrus are usually less pitchy than the others, except if they have...

Indeed, beautiful and so useful. User friendly too.

At the factory, they use a lubricant to braid the ropes. It's a very small amount but it does its job. Either you wash the rope to get ride of it, or be patient, waiting that the friction does it for you. Both work, but the last takes a while.

Tachyon for me

If one knuckle jams, you can't open the Akimbo. On mine, it was the center of the top X. A couple drops of ATF solved immediately the issue. To ease the opening, be sure to well align the 5 pivot points before trying to put it in the triple X form. I still think that his design is genius.

I had the same trouble. The spring got a funny look, a bit twisted, for a few days, and then it disappeared. I guess that's a fatigue fracture. The angular motion is maybe a bit too much for this leaf spring. Jaime made a new spring with a coiled design. He send me a few of them to save on the...

The anodizing on the cams is a bit rough and made the release somewhat a little jerky at first. Plus, it's the learning time, so the body needs some delay to control it. When the surface wears out, it becomes smooth and so does the release. Now it's fine (for my slow pace). I had one issue with...

I tried it in pitch, dead wooding a Cedrus atlantica, and it's definitively not a matter of a cleaning lazyness. The Akimbo absolutely hates the pitch, as Porbrick says in the instructions. It's the onliest downside I've found for the moment. Basically, you can manage to come up by pushing on...

That doesn't bother me any more, since I have mine:P ;) :love:

:big-jump:

I can't wait to get it and have great expectations about it:/:, but actually I agree totally with Burnham. Take the time you need:)

After Butch's gif, I can't add more.:D :blob5:anyway

And if they can get an "as soon as possible" version, those whining peoples will be usually the firsts to complain that the product could be more elaborated... I'm very glad that you elaborate your device wisely.:thumbupold: How many things come on the market unachieved, some nearly unusable...

The side loading worries me too (but it's the only one). When you come down over a limb, there is a point where all your weigh could hang side way on the device (eventually with some momentum), especially if you have nothing under you to put a foot on. At this moment, the device tends to be...

It looks like, but it works well. It gives a clean finished cut without any tension / discoloration due to the hight temps used by the other cutting heads. It just doesn't use plain water, but added with abrasive powder.

I 'm in with the n°23.:) I can't wait to try it.
