Description
The Stein Copious P-TEC 10mm Sewn Eye to Eye Hitch is designed for arborists who depend on friction hitches as a critical part of their climbing systems. Many friction hitches require cords with specific characteristics and sewn terminations so the hitch can be dressed correctly on supporting hardware.
Moreover, this sewn eye-to-eye hitch is manufactured using STEIN P-TEC accessory cord. The construction combines a polyester and Technora cover with a polyester core. As a result, the cord delivers high abrasion resistance, reliable grip, and strong heat resistance during demanding 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 Hitch has been independently tested in configuration with STEIN climbing lines ACR16, ACR24, ACR32, and OMEGA 32/12.
