{"product_id":"stein-copious-a-tec-8mm-sewn-eye-to-eye-hitch","title":"Stein Copious A-TEC – 8mm Sewn Eye-to-Eye Hitch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Stein Copious A-TEC 8mm Sewn Eye to Eye Hitch is designed for arborists who rely on friction hitches as a key part of their climbing systems. Many friction hitches require cords with specific properties and sewn terminations so the hitch can be dressed correctly on supporting hardware. Moreover, this sewn eye-to-eye hitch is manufactured using STEIN A-TEC accessory cord with an 8mm diameter. The construction combines a polyester and Technora cover with a polyester core. As a result, the cord offers high abrasion resistance, reliable grip, and improved heat resistance during friction hitch use. In addition, friction cords that contain polyester elements require rigorous inspection before, during, and after each climb. Therefore, regular checks are essential for safe operation. The Stein Copious A-TEC 8mm Sewn Eye to Eye Hitch has also been independently tested in configuration with STEIN climbing lines ACR16, ACR24, and ACR32.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStein Copious A-TEC 8mm Sewn Eye to Eye Hitch – Key Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"checklist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSewn eye-to-eye friction hitch design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloped for arborist friction hitch systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured from STEIN A-TEC accessory cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8mm diameter cord construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyester and Technora cover construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyester core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh abrasion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrippy handling characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat-resistant cord construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependently tested with STEIN ACR16, ACR24, and ACR32 climbing lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"checklist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: sewn eye-to-eye friction hitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCord diameter: 8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover construction: polyester and Technora blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore material: polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: friction hitches and arborist climbing systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished product certification: EN795(B):2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification status: CE and UKCA certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory cord testing: CE EN564 (mountaineering accessory cord testing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Choose the Stein Copious A-TEC 8mm Sewn Eye to Eye Hitch?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✅ Designed to support reliable friction hitch performance \u003cbr\u003e✅ Sewn terminations allow correct dressing on climbing hardware \u003cbr\u003e✅ Abrasion- and heat-resistant construction supports demanding use \u003cbr\u003e✅ Grippy handling improves control during ascent and descent\u003cbr\u003e✅ Independently tested with compatible STEIN climbing lines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use \u0026amp; Maintain\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst, carry out a full risk assessment before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNext, inspect the hitch cord carefully prior to each climb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThen, ensure correct configuration for the intended work task.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuring use, monitor the cord for signs of wear or heat damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter use, complete a further inspection before storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinally, remove the product from service if degradation is identified.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Fletcher Stewart","offers":[{"title":"65cm","offer_id":57368230101324,"sku":"SS-3710122065","price":23.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"70cm","offer_id":57368230134092,"sku":"SS-3710122070","price":23.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"75cm","offer_id":57368230166860,"sku":"SS-3710122075","price":23.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/2878\/9324\/files\/Stein-Copious-A-TEC-8mm-Sewn-Eye-to-Eye-Hitch.webp?v=1779369196","url":"https:\/\/outdoorprofessionalproducts.com\/products\/stein-copious-a-tec-8mm-sewn-eye-to-eye-hitch","provider":"Outdoor Professional Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
