- Here are a couple options for tying rope handles to tools. One is a constrictor knot, the other is a barrel knot. I used hammers, but it would also work for shovels or any wood handle.
Nice! Constrictor knots work well for sure !
Today someone admired and complemented my midshipman’s hitch when they saw me adjusting the tension on the tarp over my truck bed. I know it’s a very basic thing to us but they’d never seen one in action before and were quite amazed with it. It made me feel effective. 🙂
Friction knots are amazing.
I've been waiting my whole life for that to happen lol
Complement; to complete
Compliment; to praise
"effective" great choice of wording...lets admit it....knots are fucking amazing... im fascinated with knots...they are life changing.....i honestly feel that a person who takes the time to learn knots and use them is maturing just one more level in life...a knot will literally save your life...
@@nunyabidness2143 want that feeling again.....look up end of rope lashing...omg...like finding slice bread again...haahaha
I really, really like these videos.
I've started to carry a piece of paracord with me all the time, just to practice.
Hahahaha I have a 2m piece of 7mm paracord I been carrying around for 2 weeks now... My work colleagues looking at me wierdly..
@Christian Christoffersen - carry THREE pieces to get the complete experience, two of the same kind and a third one noticeably thicker or thinner - joining cordage of a different diameter is a thing of its own.
Don't forget a roll of duct tape as well. Makes you even more useful and increases the weird looks you get.
Just don't carry a shovel around, too.
So pleased I found this, my other half was a little dubious it wouldn't slide off, when I used it on a straight umbrella handle, its so solid he said he wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't watched me do it. Clear and well explained, thank you.
Perfect. That first one is so clean and easy to remember.
That mid-line constrictor knot method is new to me as well, and will come in handy for sure. Turn on the car, turn off the car. Simple.
Check out the "Z-Method" for it. Takes less than a seconde to tie :)
The first knot is a constrictor. I don't know why he is did not say that.
These videos show a person with a real understanding of the rope. If you understand the rope, you can tires the knots backward, upside down, any which way. Then you can teach multiple ways to tie the same knot like you have. Really well done.
Thanks John-Paul
Great tute. Also wanted to mention that a high knot on the handle/haft can also be useful allowing for a "reach through" use of the lanyard loop which will cantilever the haft into your palm when the loop is properly utilized and the lanyard loop is correctly sized for the application. So exactly the same as your first example with the black cord only tied higher than your normal grip. For hammering or chopping motions the cantilever lanyard hold gives great retention and can reduce hand strain for repetitive tasks.
Thanks! The the finger and thumb touches is a brilliant way to remember how to tie a constrictor knot. I always go to that knot to seal sacks or whatever, and memorized a completely convulted method that I still mess up from time to time. I will be using this method from here on out.
*convoluted
Good video, I’m hopeless at anything more complicated than tying my shoes but was able to tie the first knot easily. Thanks very much!
my man, you have no idea how you just helped me. thank you!
The double overlapped constrictor is very nice and fast, i like it. But I never fear going too fancy. A nice turk's head 5x4 looks good, provides a bulky stopper to the end of the handle and can be sinched with a bit of work.
I did that with a wet rope. When dry it will never come off....
Thanks for your comment, but isn't this mainly the case with ropes made from hemp or other natural fibres?
@@michaelneuwirth3414 Point is, you can cinch down even tighter if the rope is wet and then dries.
Awesome job. You make these knots seem so simple. I’m definitely going to use the parallel loop knot.
Great video! The constrictor knot has always been one of my favorites, and I've never seen it tied this way... Your way is far better to explain than the way I learned. Thanks! Love your channel!
Thanks Ben
Thanks again. For quality content. Love learning new knots and ideas for knot uses. Well done
High utility and clearly demonstrated.
Thanks for this. I just added a loop to my hatchet. Loving your channel’s practical approach.
Awesome. I've always wanted to learn how to do a katana wrap on a hammer or hatchet. Your instructions are very helpful.
This video was VERY interesting, I didn't know the first knot, and I was going to ask why not use the construction knot and then something to keep it combed, the answer was actually already recorded. Very cool
Liked the video. I'm a proponent of lanyards on these types of tools. Just one thing though: I always place the lanyard about half way up the handle so the loop can be twisted in the hand to keep the tool from slipping out of grip, acting as a safety strap. With the lanyard at the end, fatigue can loosen the grip during use, resulting in poor aim and contact. Especially important with hatchets or machetes.
At last - thank you for showing a reasonably sensible method for tying the "Constrictor Knot" - that's always been a bit of a pain for me - guess it might be due to the fact it was the only knot I've learned [or not - no pun intended (much)] after I reached 16!
I used the parallel example on a hammer handle for my son. I haven't been able to see it, but apparently, it failed. I had overwrapped it with a paracord grip.
After looking at the video though, I think it may be the ends you trim off need to be secured. They aren't trapped as well as a traditional constrictor knot. I think just melting them into a small glob would be enough. That's going to be what I try next.
I read the title "subscribe request". So, yeah, subscribed. Useful knot. Thank You.
I'd love to see some knots for tying small/flat things down to flat decks. I always need to use something to prop up the material to get enough tension holding it down.
i used number 1, it worked super great, thanks
Brent I appreciate the fact that you always "test" your work! I have wanted to do a loop like this on a couple of my tools,
but I am afraid of losing a machete or an axe if the loop were to slip off of the handle while in use!
Thank you sir I really appreciate your work and your time thank you
Good info for beginners. I have a few different tools that I've added full length Turks Head handle wraps to as well as a couple of other different wrap styles. I like the feel of a cord wrapped handle on tools that I use regularly. It's much more comfortable and gives a secure grip when the handle is wet from sweat or water especially when combined with a proper wrist wrap. Good job on your videos. You make it easy for those unfamiliar with these techniques to follow along and easily make application of what you share as well as a nice refresher for us older folks that may have forgotten or moved on from the basics over the years.
This is best thing on YT.
Option 3 drill hole.
👍🏻🇨🇦. All good here. Thx for asking. Be well.
Not sure if right place for this comment but it’s related to a lanyard method for a lighter (not lose it during a survival scenario). I used #12 bank line. Created and tied a prussik loop on lighter and added a larks head to slip over prussik loop knot at the end (soft shackle). It took 22” of bank line but with it in the middle of the lighter it holds very well and decent attachment loop for a carabiner or slip through necklace, etc.
Very nice explanation ! Check the handle on the small sledgehammer. It sounds loose when you drop it on the patio blocks.
I like the channel and I like this knot/loop. I just don't know why anyone would need a lanyard on a hammer, and if you did, I'd just drill a hole in the handle.
OOOOOH easiest constrictor knot method evar! Cheers 😁🎉
A short piece of plastic tubing over the loop will allow you to snug it on your wrist. Silicone tubing is even better.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks for the great instructional video.
Now which one of these will return to me if i throw it far away.
This Mijolnier knot is very useful.
Brilliant, I know a few knots but that’s awesome 👏👍
CONSTRICTOR KNOT nuff said
The first one is a Strangle Knot, but tied in doubled over cord to make a loop. It can also be used to lash 2 sticks together in a cross formation. It is structurally the same as a Scaffold Knot.
Really Like this Video... Very good knots.. N very helpful for those who works on work at height especially Tree cutting works
Nice!! I may also add, now you can hang those hammers against a wall and have them ready and handy when you need to use them! No more asking yourself, "where did I leave those hammers?"
What would recommend if that hammer handle has a hole drilled through it (to purposefully place a handle through if that makes sense?)
We call those lanyards offshore but we use Polypropylene or Manila just better suited for Harsh or industrial climate and cheaper. Do you have any good rope puzzle?
ok that was super cleaver!
Thanks! Which one do you prefer? Which one is stronger?
I wouldn’t be able to resist applying some glue to the knot “just to make sure”. I could imagine what may happen if I was working up a height and my knot came loose - possibly killing someone below 😳
It’s the sort of thing one thinks about when in later 70s.
Amazing, thanks for sharing with us amigo
Such a clove of a man....
Do you have video for harnessing a 5 gallon bucket or even a rain barrel it would be interesting 👍👍👍
What’s the scenario for how you would use it? I can give it a look.
@@First_Class_Amateur I do a lot of camping outdoors. My 60l barrel needs to be hung 8-10 ft of the ground for bears. Most people just hang off their backpack harness, but with wind, time and me being frugal makes me wonder. I would think you could do some form of carrier or barrel harness for a 60l barrel which we all use canoe tripping. All in all just looking for a way to secure a bucket/barrel to some kind of paracord/mule tape harness, then to be hung classically in the tree from bears. I can send you links on youtube for examples I'm talking about. Your loop to tool video was on another level you just posted. Thank you again for spreading important knowledge!
Leather options please for axe gandles with a hole
1:32 *and this is on there very tight. You're going to have to cut it off to get it free*
Well since that is the main concern for this knot (how easy is it for the knot to slip off) it would be great to run a test putting weights or pulling in that rowing position as you showed on this video at 1:15
Is it possible to add a loop handle that is balanced? In your example the loop is on one side so when you hold the loop it will sway to one side. If it was balanced then it wouldn’t sway either direction. Is something like this at all possible? A loop handle that is symmetrical (without drilling a hole in the handle)
Your first knot is a double-strand constrictor knot (never heard someone call it a barrel knot). A constrictor knot is extremely useful, if you don't intend to open it later and want a very durable knot with minimal cordage. With a straight handle, I would make a small notch - no matter, how much you tighten the knot, it may come loose over time, sending the tool flying around. Or you could put one or two small nails between the strands through the knot.
But what is wrong with drilling a hole at the end of the handle and feed a loop through, which would be my first choice?
NO, The first one is a Strangle Knot, but tied in doubled over cord to make a loop.
Wow, very nice!
That's a clove hitch! Nice!
The overhand knot underneath makes these variations of constrictor knots. A clove hitch is different.
@@lmelin1959 but you made the H... The first one looks like a clove hitch doubled over.
@@lmelin1959 my bad! Now I see it.
@@latetodagame1892 the constrictor is one badass knot. I only learned about it a couple months ago. Once you tighten a constrictor down on a roundish object, it can be really hard to loosen up.
@@lmelin1959 I learned a couple years ago and it doesn't cease to have applications. Nice vid!
Do you have a knot to hold a buck 110 folding hunter instead of drilling hole in the butt bolster? Thanks.
I never Understood Why
Knights / Soldiers Did Not have Wrist Loops
such that if in Battle, the Sword / Ax etc may have been Knocked Out of the Hand
that it could be Wrist Loop Retrieved Immediately
Perhaps because by grabbing your opponent's weapon, you could also immobilize their arm and pull them wherever you like? If you don't attach yourself to your weapon, you are free to drop it if somehow it gets stuck or your opponent manages to catch it, and switch to a sidearm so you still have a fighting chance.
Which one does Thor use on Mjölnir?
nicely done.
Is double constrictor worse than this?
How close to a clove hitch is this knot?
Thanks mate that's great
😵💫 watching you work that rope is very seductive 🤣🤣
Anyone know how to incorporate a bead on the barrel knot? It seems easier if you cut the cord but I don't want to do that
What is the difference between and Restrictor Hitch and a Clove hitch?
@Anonymous Won. "then"
@Anonymous Won. Lame.
@Anonymous Won. Immature.
The black makes this tough to see.
Now the hammer is reminiscent of a trench mace/club..
absolutamente hermoso
" any wood handle". If it's a wood handle drill a hole in it. Or cut notches. Anything but a knot THAT WILL WORK LOOSE. Especially on something tapered like those handles.
WRONG.
@@james1795 Hang it by the lanyard and pull on it all day, and the constrictor knot will hold fine. But on a tool that's used to impact things, vibrations will be sent down the handle and will cause the knot to loosen...especially on a tapered handle. If your tool is for display, fine, but try banging on a star drill all day making holes to push conduit through brick walls and you'll see for yourself. BTDT
@@Ariesdrone603. WRONG
I wish I would have done this before I let the hammer slip out of my hand and on to the hood of my truck.
Thanks!
Chris! Thanks brother, I appreciate your support.
Fantastic!
👍👍👌
First rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club
Knots save lives!
How would you tie an axe head on that it couldn't come off? Say the axe head was slipping on the handle and there was nothing that could be done on the inside mount point. Also too cheap or unable to get a different handle.
Sounds really dangerous, tying on an axe head.
Have you tried soaking the axe head/handle to swell the wood?.
Have you tried replacing the wedge that holds the handle tight in the head?
Not the actual tying, that's not dangerous: the using the axe having tired it together is just asking for trouble.
@@nomadicgrenada Not enough wood left.
Great video thanks! Method 1 is called a "constrictor" knot... Very effective knot since the harder you pull on the knot, the higher the friction becomes... The harder the strands of the rope "bite" into each other to prevent slipping 👍👍👍
NO, The first one is a Strangle Knot, but tied in doubled over cord to make a loop
THANK YOU!!! 😁
Good answer. Personally, I like a 4lx5b THK or a 5lx4b. Whichever.
Wunderbar.
多謝分享👍👍
I did your parallel tie worked great, but I found that 5 feet was a way too much.
How to now shorten my huge loop ?
Sensationell❗👍
Bravo
Awesome!!!
So when you loose your grip on the hammer instead of it flying off it swings back around and takes out your knee cap...nice...oh, like the knots.
imagine tying such a loop to an angle grinder
굿 ㅎㅎ
Good
How do I paracord my power bank? To make it easier to hold and use my phone at the same time?
He has videos on this. #1 subscribe. #2 go to his channel click on videos and you will find a phone harness. Adapt to a power bank.
Velcro
@@ktownc936 thankss 😊
Don't cut your rope like that. Both those knotts will loosen will use. Tie a stopper knot in the tail
The moment they loosen, they'll lose the grip. Cinching or tightening down is where it's at. He did it correctly. Ashley describes the vey method in ABOK
This is definitely for refinery workers
Where do you buy your paracord?
I buy it in bulk from EL WOOD to sell at my shop, AwesomeForSale.
Чтобы темляк не соскочил с запястья - его следует оснастить тренчиком из обрезка толстостенной резиновой трубки или приплюснутого *не* ржавеющего колечка.
Brother can u make a vdo of a best loop for a cylindr shaped product... I brought a flashlight.. A soda can size.. But it have no lanyard or layrad fitting hooks or holes😕😕😕 the flashlight was around 750gram. Am worried of falling down from hand.. And also it cant fully wraped with paracord bcz the heat will not go out. But i have no idea foe fix a lanyard on it.. Will u pls help 😕
First one easy.....
Preferred knot of debt collectors and knee drs
Why?
Lame.
It is nice if you want to hang something without drilling a hole.
But it leaves you with a tool with a loose cord,
that, in a wokrshop, it might go into the way of rotating motors and machines.
Hi,how to tie books?Thanks
Bro.
