On November 23, 2004 and again on January 5, 2006 we identified problems in materials and workmanship that contributed to the failure of several "Pacific Fibre and Rope" products.

Respectful of this 78-year-old family owned and run company, we negotiated and encouraged a fix of the problems that included a promise to report the remedy. Here it is:

  1. Triangle ring, 6,000 pound rating

  2. Carabineer, 10,000 pound rating

  3. Splice "whipped" with nylon cord

  4. Painted splice tails red to indicate failure

  5. Sprayed adhesive on whipping
