Weaver/Stein Crane Bag

[chris_girard]

So I guess my question is (and maybe Reg can help us out with this one) why did Stein discontinue the Crane Sling Bag? Was it just a matter of them not selling enough? I have one and love it, though I do feel that Stein could have used some better, more durable canvas. This has nothing to do with Reg's design, as I know that once his ideas go into production, it's kind of out of his hands.

Weaver is known for their rugged bags, so maybe this one will be a little studier and not rip as quickly.

Like I said, I love this bag and recommend climbers who do a lot of crane work, purchase one.

Never used one before. Are you not allowed to ride the crane?

I'm not sure, I think it's some young and upcoming arborist who lives in the UK? Hear he's pretty damn good too, so we'll have to keep an eye out for him in the future

Different regs over there with HSE, in regards to when you can and cannot ride the crane.

Well that's news to me. Thanks for posting Chris.

It would've been nice to be asked if they could use my video to sell a competitors product.

You're right Chris, it should've been made out if tougher material. I don't know when exactly it went out of production. We never really discussed it. The concept was really to allow any climber of a reasonable skill level to jump straight into crane work, without getting freaked out about balancing and stuff. I guess they didn't sell enough. I don't know how to feel looking at that link.

Wow Reg, I would have thought for sure that you would have been one of the first people to have known about this.
