Any interest in testing some removable bolt hangers ? I'll donate some PFH hangers and try to source some others.

Equivalent of >600kg peak is quite impressive for a cheap zinc plated bunno's special I now know my keys are safe

Test paraglider carabiners!

300 pounds ~= 136 kg

So great to find an Aussie reviewer!

what’s the point I’m curious

Interesting, just subscribed! Did it state the intended use on the package?

I love this video, to see the tests before my eyes! As a designer and engineer I have to say something though. To say that CE "doesn't carry that much weight" because it is self reported is a bit weird and wrong in my opinion. If the designers have done their job correctly they've designed it to meet applicable product and safety standards and have all documentation proving it. It is of course a huge liability for the company to CE mark without doing the work and documenting it. Fake markings and certifications is of course another thing, doesn't matterif it's a CE or a NASA marking :) I do not know anything about the specific ISO product or safety standards for climbing gear so a can't be more specific. I have worked with design of lifting equipment though. CE marking, depending on the complexity of the product or system, can drive a hell of a lot of work for the whole product design team and is vital to any company in order to be Regulation Compliant and thus being allowed to sell their products on European market.

Thanks for putting this video together! I use this static rope for pulling trees (not climbing) so they fall in the direction I need them too while hooked up to a hitch on my truck. They have performed really well so far. I tie double figure eights because I don't want the knots to weld (single bowlines, eights, and alpine butterflys all have become "untieable" when loaded by my winch). I have noticed some sheath slippage in the ends, but otherwise no other issues. I was able to pull some 20 meter oaks in the direction I needed safely. I would never use these for lifeload style application, but for pulling/moving material I think they are great. I would never use the sketchy asf carabiner. I don't know why they include those. As a climber (in the US) I only use brands I recognize for climbing and am mostly a black diamond and/or petzl gear person. I agree that we shouldn't use this rope for climbing or any other lifeload application. If you get spare time I'd love to see how this rope fails with a double figure eight, a single bowline, and a double bowline as these are the knots I use for moving/guiding trees to fall where I'd like them too.

Note the main purpose of hardware store ones ive found were to carry tools. all of them had abput 150lb weight limits which would be light for a person... but good for something like a tool bag you wanted to hoist up or attach to a lift

I have a number of camp nano 22's for just every day stuff(like attaching stuff to a backpack etc). They are much lighter and higher quality than the cheap steel ones. And honestly not that expensive. I don't really need the strength, but the lower weight and the very reliable action of the gate really sell it for me.

Cool vid! The black one I'd say failed much earlier, as it bent in a way where you wouldn't reuse it. If you were to use it in a dynamic way, the rope in it would likely bounce out of the 'biner and get let go. Stainless steel gear for climbing is a thing, as it can be tinier than aluminum, even if heavier. It seems to chew through rope faster, though, and rope ain't cheap.

U seem to forget to lock it

Great video. I’ve been using 10mm PS snap hooks for a couple routes, so it was nice to know what I’m working with.

Fun testing and good tidbits of info. Thanks Matt!

It's so interesting how much design affects strength. A 8mm stainless steel quicklink will break at like 30-40kN, that carabiner is quite far from what the material is capable of.

Great video! Any idea where to get spare mixing nozzles for Dewalt Pure500+?

good quick review. I just got one.

Sweet!

Nice video, thank you.

this was an awesome and super helpful video

Lovely review good analysis

Absolute legend. Looks like the blossoming Bolt-Gun is getting a tube of AnchorFix 3001 for chrissie.

I feel like the 45 deg drop hanger that you can't really clip into with no intermediate quicklink or ring means people will just toprope through these because clipping a carabiner to another carabiner to setup a toprope is not taught as standard practice in a lot of places. Even I know it's probably fine but I don't particularly like doing that, I'd rather have my TR hardware totally separate from the lower-off hardware to make the transition easier and less confusing, especially for newer climbers. The setup you showed with a standard hanger, QL, then these steelies looks way more approachable and gives people options.

I just played with one yesterday... really not a fan. Too confusing for new climbers, and seems unnecessary compared to just 2 steel carabiners. Plus they cost more and the opening to slide a carabiner in is tiny. Clipping 2 with any horizontal offset will twist the crap out of your rope while lowering too, better to have them extended to a single point or a vertical stack where you lower off one and the 2nd is backup. What am I missing here?

Looks great, thanks for the review.

The torque strength feels really important for any twisted-style glue in bolt, or any bolts pulled off-axis like for highlining multiple lines off the same anchors. I guess the recessed shoulder should help with that too, but it's good to know the adhesive is more than just a gap filler.

I was equally surprised at that quicklink. The tricky part about corrosion is it's hard to guess how compromised it is, and those looked pretty dang rusty. But I guess it might have been 50-60kN when new so that's 25% down, still super good enough. But if hardware doesn't give people the feel goods then it's time to replace anyway.

I have some vevor arborist gear, great value, I just don't use it for life support. 1×60m Edelrid rope for me =$400+ 2×67m vevor ropes for rigging =$147 My harness for climbing=$800+ Vevor harness for ground belaying=$53 As much as I want to, I can't find fault with the harness. A really tall guy at work chooses it over the petzl harnesses the work supply for rescue and access (so pretty much all training). He ran through a full week of high ropes rescue training wearing it recently, he's 6'7" and 100+kg, and there's still nothing wrong with that harness.

And it isn't really significantly cheaper than some Tendon 10mm static line....

I climb trees for cutting. I also live thoroughly in a lake-effect snow region. Vevor is a great brand for the fiberglass stakes I use to mark my driveway.

don't worry, you can definitely say they are deliberately trying to mislead people because they definitely are deliberately trying to mislead people. This stuff kills people and the fact they try and put a "standard" on it means they know what they are doing.

Good video. Visually, as soon as I saw that gear, I expected that (1) the carabiners were absolute garbage and basically have no value and (2) the rope is probably OK as a static rope for hauling gear. For actual climbing or other cases where the rope has to prevent a human from falling to their death, I only buy ropes made by reputable companies that test their ropes. But I'd take a punt and use a static rope like that for various utility applications such as (1) hauling gear up to my roof from my balcony when I need to clean my gutters (2) maybe if I ever wanted to build a rope swing for my kids that's not high off the ground (3) raising or lowering gear in a rescue situation (4) maybe as a utility lifeline if I had to throw a flotation device to someone who fell off a sailboat.

Fiskars Pro 21 cm PN 1027204 about $33 USD. Thank you to Mountain Mullet my pair is on the way!

If you trust your life to Temu/Amazon brands, maybe Darwin has a trophy for you.

Vevor doesn't seem to have anything labeled climbing rope when I searched a couple of minutes. They do offer double braid in multiple sizes (length and diameter). Funny thing, the 3/4" (19mm), has a picture showing rope used to tie up the center pole on a pup tent. Something that could easily be accomplished by 2mm line. I wouldn't even tie a dog hammock with those carabiners. The rope might be good for a haul rope on a long climb.

Great video as usual!

Thorough and insightful video. Thanks for testing the rope too!

6:23 this barrel/double fisherman is badly tied, you have to cross the strands before finishing the knot, google it, you will get it. If it's not clear tell me

I was expecting you to mention that it is also quite dodgy to be selling a static rope as a general purpose climbing rope, this will hurt people too

Looks like they were stronger than I would have expected

Don’t trust your life to any Chinese knock off

They look almost as bad as the vevor flip lines. line is great quality, the beaners claim to be 25kn but their weight and uh, finish, would leave me to think otherwise. Also isnt 5-6kn a serious injury/fatal zone? Understood its 4x than anyting you'd want to trust.

Do you have an email by any chance?

What rock type was that? Have you tried in granite? Would love to know how many holes you get in granite

Sick pull tester! Is that new? Per usual great information and video.

Maillons are pretty awesome. Shows how much strength we give up for the convenience of a karabiner. I heard of some caving expeditions using alu maillons because it saves a lot of weight when you need 100+ of them

I think maillon rapide is French for quicklink. Petzl tends to use this name for their quicklinks, maybe it's from petzl?

Wonder if there's a fairly consistent correlation with perpendicular pull vs adjacent pull strength?

What's with the bullshit lava pit sound?
