JosephH Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Yeah, I definitely have more faith in their Crack 'N Ups than I do their cams - no badly designed and spec'd moving parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Regardless of the quality of the design on certain products, they have good manufacturing processes - how bad can they screw up a set of nuts...? Hell, I'll even overlook the fact they're made in China if they're good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I've got an old style, thin cam camalot that's caught my fat ass a couple of times. Did it even catch Ivan's huge ass once? Â Anybody wanna buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If it's one of those old style wire plastic u-stem jobs I would instantly retire it and do whatever is required to insure it's never used again. Those were pretty notorious for collapsing and exploding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Did it even catch Ivan's huge ass once? Â it mighta - but then i'm well known for being indestructible - also, while i LOOK like i'm made out of 250 pounds of fat and bubble-gum, i'm actually mostly foam peanuts and rice-cakes and sometimes rise up when i fall down...
