    Port-o-wrap- sometimes called a port-o-crap by us when used next to the GRCS. but in all fairness the one I have does get used alot. I would like to buy the newest one made of aluminum. The one I have I bought when they first came out and the newer ones have alot of basic design improvements

    GRCS is okay, but it ain't worth the money, either.

    Porty is the best bang for the buck in my ample experience.

    I'm amazed that most of you guys, who I really respect, sound like a lot of back woods jerks around new ideas. Sigh, ..., what's wrong with finding out first hand how good something might be instead of making everything wrong?

    Jack, having a background in engineering I guess makes me look at such designs from that point of view as well as the tree guy's view.

    For a friction device to be worth it, it must be easy to use, light, compact, and practical; how much it's worth depends on how well it does those things.

    I saw it too in Pittsburgh and talked to te guys and yeah they seemed pretty stupid. They didn't have much of clue about tree work. I had a simular idea but different concept in mind. They say each wrap cancells out the last as far as hockels.
