One point to be careful of on used devices is the quality of the sling. Nylon wears fairly signficantly with environmental exposure and needs to be replaced. Check out BD's engineering test on webbing wear below. Good News! It is easy to replace, and you can do it at home on the cheap if you don't mind having a knot in the webbing instead of a nice bar-tack stitch blackdiamondequipment.com/en_US/qc-lab-gear-doesnt-last-forever--slings--quickdraws/qc-lab-gear-doesnt-last-forever--slings--quickdraws.html.
I wouldn't assume so, If it's worn out enough to grind new teeth I wouldn't trust it if i was climbing with it. I'd rather buy new cams and be poor than save a few bucks only to fall to my death the next time I went to climb.
I dont understand rock climbing but I dont trust these things one bit lmao. I understand how it works and know that it does but you wouldnt catch me climbing
The best explanation I've seen. Thanks.
Also rigid cams have the tendency to snap if not clipped correctly with accessory cord in horizontal cracks

Please go on for an hour more about cams. Part 2 please.
Could you grind new teeth in these after they get ground down from excessive use?¿?

I think the goal is to have several of these dividing the load
@@danivanon not really. you will use several, sure. but when you fall all the stress will be on the top one.
