hawkbit 0 #1 June 29, 2003 This is after 1 jump. I didn't have any problems with it and I haven't abused it. This really pisses me off. The material of the hackey actually ripped and the stiching was undone after that ripped. I applied a little pressure and the loop of fabric come out from around the ball resulting in what you see in the picture. Guess I'll see what the supplier has to say about it. I had just got this handle to replace the freestyle handle on my rig. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andy2 0 #3 June 29, 2003 Im with "crazyIvan" on this one. Damn. Who produced your hackey? --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawkbit 0 #4 June 29, 2003 Para-gear. I haven't had a chance to talk to them yet, I'm pretty confident that they will replace it with no problem... question now is... do I want another one of these? We will see what the outcome is... I feel they should replace the hackey and pay for my rigger fees.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #5 June 29, 2003 Check into a monkey fist hacky. (not the pilot chute maker, the type of hackey) I prefer the texture, and grip feel over a regular hackey any day.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherB 0 #8 June 30, 2003 The monkey fists I've seen have been smaller than the typical hackey. (Some were definitely much too small for my liking). If I found a monkey fist the same size as my current hackey I'd go for it... Maybe I just have a hackey of unusual size.

It was weird at first, but now i'm used to it and love it. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

I make monkey fists for the pilot chutes hook makes, and yes they are smaller, but they don't compress like the hackey does. The amount that the hackey squeezes down to is about the same size as the monkey fist. Except you don't need to squeeze as hard on the monkey fist because cord that is around it is less likely to slip than leather, especially when wearing gloves.Fly it like you stole it!
