FIXI REVOMABLE BOLTS ?????

[kevbone]

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?

This kind of removable bolt?

You mean a scaffolding anchor?

You must be joking, do you see a nut on the end?

You mispelled the name Fixe.

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.

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.

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

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?
