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.

Shouldn't you head to Ruby's Cafe? Pfft are you crazy? Without shoulder-length slings on the pro, the chemical signature analysis is as useful as arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I heard that metolius started putting the tread on their cams after a big gov't contract required the treads on their order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
