kevbone Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Does anyone (who have place them) have an opinion on them, I used them on a climb I put up and am having problems keeping the nut tight. It went so far as the hanger falling off in my hand. When I bought them, the guy at the climbing shop stated "they are the only bolt made specificaly for climbing", so I bit and bought three of them and used them for a roof climb. I am not happy with them, and trully cannot keep the nut tight. I will probably have to pull it and redrill with a 5 piece rawl. Has anybody had the same expirence?

lancegranite Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 This kind of removable bolt? You mean a scaffolding anchor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 You must be joking, do you see a nut on the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Kevin: I have some Permabond thread locker you can squirt on the threads and the nuts will never come off again. No charge, after all I am the Mother Teresa of gear whores, when will i see you next? You at JC or Beacon this weekend? I can tuck it under your windshield if you are driving the blue minivan and I see it. I think my wife says it's OK for me to climb this weekend, but I'm not sure as she has a 4 day weekend and might have plans for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 Thanks bill, I will take it. I am going to JC on Friday at around 2 pm and will be there all night. Can I expect it then? I was just going to redrill a new bolt. but would rather not go through the trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderfour Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I've heard some good stuff about these: Petzl Long Life A non-removable hanger (included) all stainless steel. I read an online test somewhere that chose these as their favorite for hard rock. The downside - $10 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Petzl Long Life That is about the weirdest bolt I have ever seen. Has anybody seen these or used these. What do you do, just pound them in and there tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
