The sling hooks in the vid made all the difference. I like the emphasis on production and speed with the comfort of no spikes. That's a job a guy could do day in and day out and get a big head about after a while. What's not to like?

I was leary about them before but think I have changed my tune. It sure is a lot easier to pre-tension multiple slings. They would not work on the slings I have but the ones I have and the ones Dirty had are actually pretty cheap.

I remember he said something about them a while back, but I just kept choking the pick and setting the sling in the hook. I didn't feel the need to add them (spend the money) for the little crane work I do, but now that looks like a piss poor excuse.

It's the hooks that are expensive, not the slings. Can't remember if I paid $250 a piece for mine or if that was for the pair. Either way, pricey, but worth it.
