http://m.westechrigging.com/round-sling-hook-green.html finnally found what my preffered CO has. its these hooks. we set two of them for each pick, oriented correctly and opposing. its pretty fast.

Just dont delete the video Nick. and send me a sample one for my floating block set up. just 1/2 inch or 9/16th. not the crane sized one. keep on with the ideas.

I missed this and I do agree with this comment. but this is still a concept project right? i dont see them for sale. i am assuming that the rope is rated already and those soft locks normally test at 140% of rope strength. It shouldnt be hard to get them with a stamped WLL.

where do you all buy crane slings and clevises? they dont seem to be much of a lroduct selection at any of the major tree suppliers. where do you purchase them?

you could very well be absolutely right, they may suck to use and they may be dangerous. i just would need a clearer understanding of why you feel thay way other than you having done a lot of crane work and are adept enough using your current tools. Is it just a gut feeling you have about these?

big wood thats for sure. clevises are nice, they obviously work well. your opinion on these slings is still as worthess as mine. neither of us has held one, used one, other than look at the same video. I never really take much stock in reviews like that. thats just me. i havent heard a...

i rarely do crane work. and i use my COs slings although this to me looks like it would be fun to play around with in my double whip tackle set up off my floating block. I have loved soft links for a long time. I am always excited when someone finds a good use for them. I think they would go...

why would i be talking to a judge?

what is ATSM?

Im not saying how great it is. Im just saying it looks great to me. I haven't used one. Charlotte has bigger trees than Detroit, and I am guessing bigger canopies than the Pacific North west. Scotty runs a crane all day everyday. I only run a crane once every few months and one of my crane...

ill say if its good enough for scotty olson, its good enough for me. He is the crane operator for heartwood in charlotte. they do some serious work. his opinion matters to me more than most. ive never tried them so my opinion is as worthless as yours. lol

how is it different. i guess like a running bowline different than a bowline?

ahhh, disingenous. i totally read dangerous. all it is is a sling with a clevis, its just a soft clevis. i do see the weight of a clevis being handy. to me this looks faster than working with clevises.

outrageously dangerous? what do you forsee happening?

the straps that most crane operators use dont inspire much confidence either. one of my crane guys sists i use his straps, which suck. I dont see why this is a bad idea. definitly dont understand why he should delete the video. And i most certainly will go out and try to copy it!

yeah, wow, that pick is insane.

I think its great Nick! I have been a huge fan of the soft locks for a long time. Have tried to figure out a practical usage for them and this really looks good to me. I will definitely want these. I would absolutely trust that. They have been used in sailing for ages. How cool.
