We, at N6IJ, recently obtained a brand new, donated, climbing belt, a Klein, or Bashlin, standard type, with composite construction (leather and nylon webbing.) There was an attached warning note to

The accident happened when the strap did what is known as a roll-out, where it gets turned backwards inside the d-ring, and exerts pressure on the latch. This is the reason that double releases are n

Serious climbers wouldn't be caught dead (or alive) using a tower climbing belt for climbing. A real climbing harness has zero leather, and no d-rings or latches to fail or come undone. Personally, t

The problems mentioned on this thread are one of the main reasons I always use TWO lanyards. In addition to always having one attached while I move the second one, I will also have one still attached

My lanyards have a single spring locked latch on each end. Am I to understand that newer lanyards have 2 latches on each end for a total of 4 latches per lanyard? My lanyards are only 3 or 4 years o

Yes, they are double-action latches. The older single-action ones are the ones that have been under discussion relating to the potential of 'rollover' and releasing. You might want to retire them and

the old lanyards are sometimes good for certain tools or for tying something off to the tower, that of course is non-human. (you know... aliens, and other inanimate stuff) Ken -- FAQ on WWW: http://w

Steve wrote back and said yes, but I believe he misunderstood the question. There are *not* four latches (two on each end) but rather two spring released latches on each catch )snap-hook) at the end

I totally agree Dave. I could only imagine the pain taken from a fall wearing a belt. You may not hit the ground if your wearing one but you may not walk again either. Buy your tools from a tool comp

The versions I've used can be released with one hand. I use my thumb on the "lock," and the side of my index finger to undo the hook "latch." These probably aren't the proper terms. Have a look at t
