Name of packing tool?

[Lostinspace 0]

Sorry for the silly question.

I used another jumper's tool while learning about packing.

What is this tool called?

It is used in place of a weight, to provide tension while packing. It consisted of a flat obround metal plate. Velcro was adhered to one side, to grip while packing on carpeting. The plate also had a hole in it, which you could drive a stake through when packing on grass. The tool has a strap that is routed through the leg straps and then buckled.

I've got one, but it isn't very useful for the carpet we have in the packing area at my DZ, plus there are a lot of weights around (including the lead safe I wear to do RW). It is in my car right now, but PM me and I'll get the name for you if nobody else replies before tomorrow.

How about a gallon jug full of rocks? Easy to make, easy to replace.

I like when people sit on the rig as my weight.

Since i actually answered his question a few posts up, we can hijack the thread now right?

Its a Scott's Grip. If I can actually find mine I'll mail it to you. I quit using even a weight for packing a few years ago and have no use for it anymore.

This is if I haven't given it away already, I can't remember if I did a while back or not.
