Hooknswoop 19 #1 July 19, 2003 Trying to get an idea of the magnitude and scope of the CW03-01 SB. What to do if the pin bends because of the test. Remove it from service, but who buys the new one? What to do if the seal breaks during Test 1 and you didn't pack the reserve? Are reserve pins strong enough? How much are you charging for the SB? How do you mark metal ripcord handles? How do you mark soft reserve ripcord handles? Do you see any flaws/drawback to Test 1? Do you see any flaws/drawbacks to Test 2? Any suggestions for a better test? How many ripcords have you tested? Using Test 1? Using Test 2? How many failed Test 2? List details, DOM, how failed, i.e. 'bent', 'broken', etc. How many failed Test 1? List details, DOM, how failed, i.e. 'bent', 'broken', etc How many broken seals using Test 1? Did you already have a spring scale or did you have to buy one? If so, how much did it cost? For Test 2, what are you using for the block? Any other problems/situations encountered with this SB? Hook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
