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.
Thanks mate! Black Friday was kind this year, got an electric pump for the hydraulics and a nicer load cell +indicator. The whole thing is much easier & safer to use now so I plan to use it a lot more
They're made by Péguet in France. It's the brand name, that became so common that's what they call it! Like how Hoover means vacuum cleaner or Kleenex means tissue in some places
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
Yeah pretty impressive, the good ones at least. Decent ones will have a thread that's bigger diameter than the bar stock, whereas some cheaper ones will have the same diameter, so that's the weak point

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

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

Ooh that's interesting, thanks for the historical context!
