Ladder hook

I was at Home Depot today getting some new batteries for my cordless tools and noticed a giant carabiner, $6. Just an FYI. Rated to 150lbs it said on the packaging.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Super groovy!

Now whut do I do with it?

 

[Paul B]

I was thinking back to other threads where people were looking for really big carabiners or whatever to attach saws to lanyards and such.

 

[Old Monkey]

We've given those a try Paul. They are OK in a pinch. Just OK.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

Thats funny, I saw this at Babies-r-us today.

I have one on my belt, Paul...it works fine for me. I don't climb all the time like some of these folks but it's good for me.

I usually let the saw hang from a lanyard, about 6 feet...but when I need it close repeatedly (or I am going thru thick stuff) I snap it into the big biner.

I'll get a picture of it soon.

I tried that for about a week, 25 years ago. Not my cup o tea!

 

[Blinky]

I use a paddle biner, it's big, strong as hell and has a bent gate so you can just push the saw lanyard ring right into it.

 

[pantheraba]

Here ya go, Paul...I usually just snap the saw handle into the biner.

 

[NeTree]

Damn, how do you get up a tree with all that crap?

 

[Paul B]

cool.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Damn, how do you get up a tree with all that crap?

Positive thinking.

We used one to hold up the hoses on the BM for a spell.

 

[Bodean]

Um, Gary what's the story with the action figure?

 

[MasterBlaster]

A good luck charm.

 

[pantheraba]

Um, Gary what's the story with the action figure?

That guy's been around...I thought you knew.

 

[Bodean]

I thought charms went around yer neck or like a bracelet.


That's where I keep my care bear stuff.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I'm doing it wrong then ... I wear my women's undies.. LMAO JK!

 

[pantheraba]

One of his many adventures....

He started out as a test dummy for a Boy Scout mini-zip line at Scout camp one summer...then he insisted on going to Katrina...a real gomer.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nicely done Gary !

 

[Bodean]

I love it.

"Man, That was a homerun."

 

[pantheraba]

I love it.

"Man, That was a homerun."

Hahaha...it made a great bat-busting-a-ball noise when that last piece hit the rigging tree.

Thanks, CursedV...we had a good team.

I got one of those big carabiners from Home Depot too, but it broke one the first day of use. The stupid gate hinge is weak and came apart. Luckily I didn't lose my saw or else I'd have been mad.
