HELO-LANYARD™
OPERATOR RETENTION LANYARD SYSTEM
Our patent-pending Helo-Lanyard™ Tactical Helicopter Operators Retention Lanyard System is purpose-built as a tactical position and retention Personal Lanyard for military and SWAT operators to secure themselves to helicopter platforms where seatbelts are not an option.
The Helo-Lanyard™ is force-limiting and adjusts at the body, taking away the need for the Operator to turn away from their position. Taking in is done one-handed while extending can be done using one hand and a hip-movement, again allowing the Operator to keep eyes on the mission.
Q8-1QR
The Q8-1QR is a specialized rope device designed for highly trained users, allowing instant connection or disconnection at any point on the rope without threading the end through. Its double-locking mechanism, tie-off feature, captive eye, and optional training clip ensure secure, predictable operation while enabling hands-free work when needed.
The Q8 1QR is meant to be used with most brands of 7mm - 8mm ropes (Technora-sheathed is recommended).
CIAO NUT TOOL
The Nut Tool needs to be your new go-to accessory for traditional climbing. Made in Canada using a specifically-sourced, hardened alloy steel has allowed us to create a very lightweight, extremely strong and resilient cleaning tool measuring 2mm thick. We designed it so you can actually use it as a nut tool on 3/8 nuts, fitting onto even the smallest hangars you'll encounter in North America and allowing a full 1/4 turn.
ANCHOR HOOK
This specially designed Hook incorporates a multiple of features to make it ideal for scenarios requiring quick access and exit. Lightweight but made of high quality, heat treated alloy steel, it provides the strength required for one-person loads. The design also allows it to be attached to a Collector-Block which transforms this device into a quad Grappling Hook system.
PICCOLO PULLEYS
These specially designed pulleys were developed together with military rescue-specialists and mountain guides, and are now used extensively in those fields. After numerous years of use we have now certified them for the recreation market. They're ideal for multiple activities where small, lightweight pulleys are desired, and where ultimate trust is required. For use with up 10mm rope. The machined side-plates ensure strength where needed while allowing us to create beautiful, radiused edges for ultimate rope-friendly use. These are great to use with your descender systems as well as for general climbing.
OPEN-LOOP PRUSIKS
Open-loop prusiks are sewn loops made with rope specifically designed for prusik use—no knot required. Available in 7 mm and 8 mm diameters and multiple lengths, each loop features CNC-sewn, low-profile splices protected with clear, heat-shrink tubing for durability and inspection, with strength ratings of 16kN for the 7 mm and 20kN for the 8 mm options.
