Does anyone know of a retailer that still sells the old style Camalots?

 

Thanks.

 

Old style, or old old style? The type they stopped making last year, or the type they stopped making in the '90's? Us old farts like precision.

There are lots and lots of those "old old" style cams with the harder metal out there. Some say they aren't safe. I wouldn't use one at Vantage, but seems like they must be fine on granite.

I don't think that the hardness of the metal is all that important. We used to use lifting cams to lift heavy pieces of sheet steel, and neither would show signs of marring. Ray Jardine has stated that the tread on Friends was mostly forr looks, and had little to do with their use or strength.
