The one I have the screwdriver end is very flimsy. It’s bent from what I would consider light use. It’s needs a much heavier blade and to be hardened. I rarely use mine, I really prefer the STIHL scrench with just the heavy driver and 19mm end because I sold all my Husqvarna saws.
I am going to do roof work on a steep roof with a 1/2 inch safety rope that I already own connected at the peak. I want to move up and down the roof to do work with both hands free when I get to the roof spot to work on. Will the Notch Glide Rope Glide work for me in case I fall and keep me from sliding off the roof ?
Girl! Nice Video A release knot is a good idea. With my luck the thro bag would fall in a tree limb crotch. That is why I have 2 back up throw lines for when they inevitably hang up. The second bag on the other end is convenient and saves time also for rerouting ropes. I’m old school and may just have get me one of the square collapsible thro line bags. Does anyone remember the pear shaped rubber thro ball with the lead weight in the center with a 3/16 3 strand twisted Polypropylene You could really get some height with lose old things down in the piney woods of south east Texas. Up to 80 feet throws. Would burn a hole right through your lead throwing finger. Wrap it up with duct tape and continue on. I’m an old school Eucman now Oakman/Eucman cut my teeth in Fresno California In 1977 working power lines in the Kings Canyon National Forrest. No thro line- spurs and a 20’ flip line.
My issue with this device is the difficulty of adjusting it. No more one handed adjusting under tension. that is the trade off you make when trying to turn your work positioning lanyard into a 2 in 1.
Underselling yourself sucks it makes you feel like an idiot and charging a lot makes you feel like the bad guy, that’s why I’m starting a second business so that I can have more work and be more ‘heartless’ when pricing a job.
