The scale doesn't go into the 1/2 inch space. The scale can be in the next county if you have enough line to go between the scale and the "barbed wire" or the guy. There is a force multiplication wh
If it's to be a one person device, the person needs at least two arms - one to hold the board, and one to pull the scale. The method should work fine, especially if a one-time calibration on EHS coul
That should work, but I agree you would need a 2nd person to pull the fish scale. But it would have to be calibrated against a known tension for the specific type of guy wire being measured. That's w
You use the hook on the fish scale to pull the cable towards the nail set back 1/2". When the cable touches the nail set back 1/2" read how many pounds the fish scale reads at take that times 20 = lb
