Lag Spinner

[HortGuy]

Anybody know who MAKES the Lag Spinner. I know I can buy from many different distributors, but I would really like to buy direct from the manufacturer.

I would try Klein tools

Have to admit, when I read 'Klein' I thought we had it, but they don't make this either.
Thanks for the suggestion, really good idea.

I think the gentleman might have milked us for information and then split. One way to get on in this world.

 

[bonner1040]

I dont think so, he seemed genuine and nice. He even put out some pre-treehouse stuff in the AM Leonards advertising IIRC.

Perpetually skeptical here, a bad trait.

I feel so used...

 

[bonner1040]

Its because you are so good looking Butch... you make an appealing target.

My beauty is a curse...

Lag spinner or no what exactly is the thing supposed to do ?

 

[SoonerFan]

A tool for applying torque to the hook formation of a lag hook for cabling a tree. The tool comprises an elongated body defining a rotational axis extending along the elongated length thereof between a torque receiving end and an opposite terminal end. An upper portion of the elongated body contains upper and lower wall surfaces forming two passageways at opposite sides of the rotational axis for passage of the curved end portion of a lag hook having either left-hand or right-hand threads to a socket traversed by the rotational axis and bounded by a torque delivering wall spaced from the rotational axis. A shank guide throat for the threaded shank of the lag hook extends from the socket between the lower wall surface and the terminal end of the elongated body.

No, I didn't know the answer... it's a copy and paste.
