Interesting, they have put out some new models since I purchased mine, and presumably the "latch" addresses the dislocation problem. "Expensive" is why I want to make my current one suffice. For rope, I believe the smooth jaws as opposed to serpentine is what you want. A textured jaw will scar...

It seems pretty obvious that when they designed that tool, they didn't have pulling trees in mind, or else would have put some removable collar or something around the jaws to prevent falling off. if Rajan was mentioning a particular brand, it could be reasoned that he has some personal...

It already has a spring for that purpose, but it is too weak. Possibly a stronger one can be substituted.

Interesting idea too, Stig, and probably the most professional looking solution when it is set-up. Those two other guys might just have to make room in the VIP lounge now. I have never tied a prussic onto a cable and checked for slippage, so results pending. Thanks. :)

Of course I was thinking about you too, B, but with too many credits....y'know academia, I might not get the doctorate. I just thought you would understand. :)

Of course, Rajan, I will send you the PhD thesis. Your name might even be behind an asterisk somewhere .:beerchug:

Could very well be the simple solution, tape or bungee, a few wraps should hold it in place until bringing up the tension again. The tape seems pretty direct. Thanks. I eventually might have thought of it. :|: The prussik holding tension is a thought, but absolutely no room for release in...

Yes, once the tension is up again they are secure if the cable is through the jaw properly. More pull equals more solid bite, the nice feature.

Probably work!

If the attachment unexpectedly releasing via slack wouldn't be a big concern, they are the cat's meow, really hold firm when the tension is up and don't slip, has been my experience. Nice feature that they don't kink or mar the cable at all. Every once-in-awhile, given a certain slack, they...

Are you guys mentioning a prussik to prevent slipping? It has never slipped on me, just falls off the cable. I was thinking a rope to bind the jaw, if possible. Seems a bit rinkydink however.

Sure am open to suggestions. I thought about somehow better securing it with a rope, but haven't tried yet.

Yes sir, 10 mm. Not too bad to haul up a tree.

Not wanting to much start a discussion about pulling trees with cable vs rope, I think it has been pretty well talked about..... I have used these Klein cable pullers for a number of years, first seeing them mentioned in Jerry's book. Can be used with rope as well. I use them with my two ton...
