Heavy vinyl gloves sewn into a heavy canvas bag with drawstring and 2 4kN rated carabiners (compare at 11.00 each). For use in tree climbing cat rescue. Not designed to be bite and scratch proof but offers superior dexterity and grip for controlling a scared animal.
Once the cat is in hand, pull the bag over the cat and cinch the drawstrings for a safe and secure lowering to the ground. Better than any pillow case!
A dark side and light side to make it easy to know which is the right or left hand glove. The climber can use both or either hand to make the rescue. Climbing Innovations logo.

The Drum is a friction device added to the RE Unicender to save wear and add function. Instillation is required.
This is a new version that also includes a sacrificial wear plate for the bottom "L" bracket.
This listing is for both the Drum, wear plate, screws and lock washers, positioning plate and/or stencil for proper positioning of the screw holes.
Another listing for the Unicender with the Drum and wear plate installed is also available as well as a separate listing for just the "L" bracket wear plate.
Technical notice for the Drum kit or lower wear plate designed by Climbing Innovations LLC and used on the Unicender. A user in New Zealand has reported an issue with the use of the lower friction plate that comes with the Drum Kit or is sold separately by Climbing Innovations LLC. It involves the Unicender being locked into the Control Mode descent. If a user inadvertently places the Unicender in this configuration the climber will need to continue the descent to the ground or to a place where the device can be safely unweighted and reconfigured. The actual descent is unaffected, the climber can control speed and stop the descent at anytime just as one might do if this inadvertent configuration did not occur.

Consider using the stencil or positioning guide for drilling a 5/16 hole for the ¼ bolt. It is advised to use drilling methods that will limit the drill from walking.
Use soft clamps or mallet to push the wear plate over the “L” bracket. Silicone or some adhesive may be used if you are concerned about it coming off.
Be sure to understand the manual that is provided with the Unicender.

With Captive Eye
The HHxf is a unique device in the world of multicenders (a device that allows movement up, down, and laterally with little to no configuration change). It is the only device that combines the load bearing anchor point with the required single rope tending point and allows for on-the-fly added friction.
It is mid-line attachable, does not alter the path of the rope, can be attached to a weighted line, is unaffected by the weight of the rope below it and does not require a configuration change or added components when switching from doubled moving rope to a single rope, in other words, it can go from 100% friction (stopped) to nearly 0% friction for ascent without changing the configuration. It works equally well on a high angle “zip line” as it does on a vertical line.
It does not have “big-top” exposure or collapsible components. It is built with strong solid parts in a low-profile simple design.
Because it is a hybrid device using 360° wraps with a friction hitch, any rope flattening has little effect, making for consistent and predictable performance. Replacement hitch cord does not require a spliced or sewn termination making replacement inexpensive.
Comes with 9mm RIT

For those that can't decide if they want the Captive Eye Swingarm or Non-Captive Eye at the time of purchase.
The Captive Eye is intended to be placed directly on the climbing harness rope bridge, eliminating potential problems with carabiners that may be moving, side loading or going slack while a climber is moving about the tree.
It comes with the Nylon SlicPin Keeper in place.
$18.00
Extra Friction Plug: (7075-T6 hard anodized aluminum.) A threaded plug that when inserted into the back of the HHxf body provides extra friction to the mechanical and proportional friction component for descent. (Not to be used during ascent.) It does so by creating a bend in the rope and putting more friction on the other 2 friction components. It provides adjustable proportional friction but is not controllable as is the friction hitch. 3D view at https://a360.co/3gwgDBL

This is an ideal configuration for use as a secondary support point, doubled moving rope, SRT or as an extremally long lanyard using the other end of your climbing line.

To answer a customers question, yes, this is a very good deal as I encourage climbers to use a secondary system such as this with the primary system that stays on the bridge.

Good morning,
I’m just making sure this listing is for the unicender and both plates installed before I order. The listing reads like it is, but it’s such a good deal that I have to make sure before I order. Thanks!
Response:
I have had multiple comments like this, perhaps I need to raise the price. 😉 Yep, it is true, brand new, with completely installed Drum kit.
Richard
I know, it's a really good deal but who couldn't use a really good deal now days!
Don't want to do the installation yourself? Buy the Unicender with everything installed.
For those international orders, I have restricted the shipping method to UPS only and to those countries that have been successful in the past. If you have problems/questions placing your order please send me an email. The Unicender is an expensive part to get lost in the mail. Thanks.

Approximately 70 inches in length, white in color, Dyneema cover for low friction, with solid rubber core.
May I suggest a backup, especially for international orders.
White Dyneema bungee replacement and #8 stainless steel washers for the SAKA® and Foldable SAKA®
Designed to fit the inside diameter (4.5mm) of the specially made double tube.
Approximately 70 inches in length and 4.0-4.2mm in diameter. Comes with 2 #8 stainless steel washers. (Used next to the stopper knot tied to prevent the bungee from pulling into the 4.5mm inside diameter tubes)
Note:
Both the white and black bungee are designed and made specifically for the SAKA® and Foldable SAKA® both are designed for maximum stretch. The white bungee has a Dyneema cover and solid elastic core. The white Dyneema is strong but comes to a 'hard' stop at the end of the stretch. The black bungee has a Nylon cover that lends itself to a softer stop when the end of travel is reached. This effectively makes for a smoother travel. The black bungee is also slightly stronger for a quicker rebound.
Current versions of the SAKAs come with the black Nylon bungee installed and an additional approximate 5' length of replacement bungee.

Like work shoes, chainsaw blades and many of our favorite things, they wear out over time. This is the replacement guide with bungee, washers, storage sock, hardware and instructions for the SAKA® (Self Advancing Knee Ascender)
I have placed this part here to help those who own a SAKA, whether purchased thru my store or other major retailers but It is only sold on my store.
I beg of you, this is not parts for a do-it-yourself SAKA, it is a integral component of my patented and trademarked device and must only be used as a replacement part. I want to keep the price reasonable for the customers that have invested in the SAKA and can replace modular components rather than having to buy a new one.
If you feel your bungee guide has failed prior to a reasonable use period, please write to me at richard@climbinginnovations.com and I will take care of you.
I may ask for verification of an owned SAKA®.

SlicPin Keeper made of Nylon to help prevent dropping or loosing the SlicPin when it is retracted from the HitchHikerXF body. It is strong enough but not so strong as to put undue pull on the SlicPin if it becomes snagged during a climb.

Two options are available, one is for the HHxf with the captive eye and the other is for the HHxf withOUT captive eye SwingArm. They are slightly different lengths from the center of the SlicPin to the center of the screw holding them in place.
Caution: If you make a keeper yourself, be sure it is not of such strength to pull on the head of the SlicPin or prevent the SlicPin from fully engaging.
