Sockpuppet 0 #2 September 29, 2006 Your local rigger/dz? ------ Two of the three voices in my head agree with you. It might actually be unanimous but voice three only speaks Welsh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jondavidson 0 #8 October 19, 2006 Buy a stainless one from me, only $11/each, no minimum order, paypal accepted. Also available in brass for $13, titanium for $21. All prices include shipping to US or Canada. It's all a dream I dreamed one afternoon, long ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2cmyzx 0 #10 October 21, 2006 I have the brass one of these. My son got 2 of them and gave me one. These are EXCELLENT TOOLS! Much stronger than the one I got from Para Gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avion 0 #11 October 27, 2006 I bought one, then promtly lost it. I tended to lose my pull up cords after each use too. One of the PD guys in Deland heard my complaining about how my pullups dissapeared so quick, and gave me a handfull of them. That was last year, I have yet to lose one since.

millertime24 8 #13 April 3, 2008 Your local dz should have an abundance of nylon pullup cords. They are either free or very cheap (I have 5 and have yet to pay for one). That rigging tool is totally un-needed.Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any better ideas or other online stores? Thanks! Learn to apply mechanical advantage and you won't need a tool. It takes less time to pack without the tool since you don't have to thread the end through the loop (especially if the loop is too tight), and easier to fit the closing pin in a tight loop when you have the bulk of a regular tape pull-up cord in there than a thin piece of spectra. Loosing a regular pull up cord means some one will definitely loan you a spare, and many DZs/skydiving stores will give you a few for the road. Regular pull up cords are also small enough to stuff in your reserve data card pocket so you're guaranteed to have one if you land out regardless of what jump suit you're wearing (some people hang the tool around their neck, but with an 800 pound tensile strength that doesn't seem like a good idea). It might save wear and tear on your hands if you're cranking out 10+ pack jobs a day, but I'm guessing that's not the case here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #15 April 4, 2008 I use a short piece of dowel rod to help packing the Sigma rigs. Much easier for me than threading those tools through everything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
