Usaver Install; Rope Jams In Pinto
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- The main reason for this video is to try and figure out why my rope is jamming in the Pinto pulley of my Usaver during installation.
Okay, after getting very frustrated and discouraged trying to install my new Usaver I talked with the man who made it for me and he encouraged me to hang it somewhere about head high so I could see what exactly was going on, so I did that after work today. Right away it was clear that the steel rigging ring was blocking the rope from gong through the Pinto. Take a look, maybe it will help somebody out having the same or similar problems with the same or similar gear. Feel free to comment and or criticize, I appreciate any and all of it.
Thanks for watching.
Work safe.

Almost forgot, check out the Tree House site.
A very relaxed group, great place to "hang out" and learn
tons of info on climbing, cutting, whatever.....
Stop in for a visit sometime.
I work full time in a machine shop. CNC precision finish grinding.
Goin' on 28 years, same shop, same department.....
Sure as hell make sure it's functioning as needed before leaving your anchor. Maybe if you adjust how your pinto is choking your rope😁🤷
I got it figured out, nice piece of gear. I don't use it anymore but, every time I set a tie in I used to use binoculars to confirm a solid/safe anchor. I have upgraded to a high quality monocular and still confirm every time, no exceptions. 😃👍❤🌲
my dream is to have my own company one day soon and get away from aviation...i was thinking bout going to that school called acrt and doing the basic and adv, arborist class i love this arborists stuff way more then fixing stuff all day on airplanes...lol...u have any advice for me just starting out ....
To make a really long story as short as I can. I needed a tree taken down in my yard. Didn't want to pay someone to do it. Bought a basic climbing kit and The Working Climber DVD's, I don't know anyone close that climbs or does tree work so I had to teach myself. Since then I've taken a handful of other trees around the yard and have been doing "part time" tree work for goin' on 6 years. I'm constantly trying to improve, I've got a looooong way to go, There's always more to learn. ;)
Look at Tom Hoffmann install technique on the ground by holding on to the termination end until the ring clears
Ayuh, Tom and I PM'd back and forth, several times.
I really appreciate the help and encouragement he gave
me to figure out the problem and get it solved.
He was genuinely concerned about getting it "figured out".
Good man to work with. :)
I'll use SRT or DRT, whichever style works best for the job I'm doing.
I have no problem switching during a job, if it makes the work easier.
With the Hitch Hiker I have that option to change over when I need to
and when I need to.
will do bro ill make a profile on it when i get home from work tonight ,,have to work nights maybe next week to...ughhh...well ill see u there bud later...
but anyway ur vids are awsome man and ur accent is cool to keep intouch and stay safe...if u dont mind me asking what do u do for a living?
Its hooked up wrong.the ring is on wrong side of the pully.Loop is around nothing but air.wont work like that.
Ayuh, thanks!
I got it figured out and it worked great while I used it. I have other
gear that works better now. I've learned a whole heck of a lot over
the years but continue to learn more every time I climb. 😃👍❤️🌲
Be safe!
I find a little black tape to point the end of the running rope never fails to pass through any situation
+Scooter Rutherford That's a great tip, it would definitely help.
Hey thanks for the suggestion and keep yourself safe.

Oops, I was in such a hurry to upload the video I didn't realize I reversed the order of the video clips, weeeeell, you get the idea.
thanks for the reply
i guess the problem in all of those situations is gravity. sounds frustrating at first but there is a way to switch of gravity for a sec so to speak. just let it down a meter and then pull half a meter as hard as you trust your throwline. the rope will bash against the pulley kicking everything up and in that sec you have to pull again ^^. there is a way to set it in a choked configuration from the ground but its difficult and complicated maybe i will make a video someday
I understand exactly what you're saying, I've used that same technique with some success, but it takes good timing to get it. By knowing and paying attention to what the actual cause of the problem is(the ring blocking the Pinto pulley)I've had very good success installing it. :)
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. It all helps me improve at my tree work.
I would definitely watch that video if you make it.....
Hey thanks, I appreciate that. I'm super critical of myself 'cause I know how dangerous this work is. I want to improve every time.
I've been "collecting" gear a little at a time, when I can afford it. There's always more gear to get.....
I'm curious what insurance company did you check with.....?
Thanks!
Work safe.
i tried srt the other day messing around and wow its like night and day diffrence on how fast u can climb with just a pantin and pulling down with your hands kinda like mechanical foot locking is what i call it ...lol...
its called the insurance place here in birmingham al, but they said once i was insured with them i can work anywere and still have the mmillion dollar liability .....it was like 938 a yr...sorry i reply slow didnt see your prev comment...
Haven't tried going through the ring side first, "yet".....
is the ring may be to big or not thick enough... have u tried going through the ring side first
awsome. i do aircraft mantienance ....been doing it for 10 yrs on and off join the army and that was a break from airplanes...well keep intouch and how did u learn how to do this tree work like u do ? just practice on your own?
i dont like spliced eyes either i usually tie a anchor hitch....
a little late to the party ; maybe you should run the rope threw the ring first then the pulley I don't see it effecting its operation in a bad way it might be worth a try.... when I use the Pinto I usually use it on two lines one SRT anchor really and the Pinto as a rope saver with my DDrt / Petzl zig zag set up
josephfaraci I did get it sorted out and could pretty consistently set it without any "trouble", but to be honest I don't use it anymore. I salvaged all the components for other gear that I've made.
Thanks for the feedback on it. The zig zag is a nice piece of gear. I tried one out at the EXPO last November in Hartford. If I wasn't 95% or more SRT I would probably have one.
Be safe.

Use the other end
Ayuh, I did try the other end but didn't get it on video.
I got the same result. I don't use that piece of great any
more so I guess it doesn't matter.
Thanks and be safe. 😃👍❤️🌲

You used black ring !
Isn’t that pulley supposed to go inside the silver ring
@@als484In this setup the pulley does not go through the ring. And using the black ring (X-ring) may have worked but, I no longer use this setup.
I climb SRT more than 90% of the time and use very different technique now. It's a good piece of gear. I just don't use it anymore. 👍
Thank you for your post and reply I’m new to climbing I still don’t trust my saddle
that would aggrivate the shi/// out of me though ....hey i thought u were a srt guy...lol...
Your prusik is twisting it bro
Did you figure this out?
Yes I did. I was contacted directly by Tom Hoffman, the man who "invented" the U saver, he was a huge help. Great to talk with and very willing to help get it "figured out".
Ayuh.....
i can get u the number if u want to see if they can cover u?
you're funny, try n learn camera techniques, these videos will be the best if you're as good at cameras as you are at ropes, right now you're 'knot'.
I'm no "expert" that's for sure. I learn what I can when I can, just putting stuff out there to share. I'll never be an "August Hunicke"..... ;~)
