Superfletch 1 #3 March 28, 2005 Khan Hildebrand, the owner of the packing concession at Z-Hills developed a tool that will do this. In fact, it's probably the one you are describing. I don't have all the specifics on him such as his phone number and such but if you call Z-Hills manifest I am sure that they can get you in contact with him. Tell him Fletch sent you... :) Gary "Superfletch" Fletcher D-26145; USPA Coach, IAD/I, AFF/I Videographer/Photographer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bodypilot1 0 #5 March 31, 2005 Are you talking about a T handle positive leverage closing device? If your tightening down a pilot chute that has been packed for awhile, you'll have to shorten the closing loop, but be careful not to make the pull over 22lbs. ParaGear has them. Be safe.
