The new 6Banger, By Journeyman Gear.NOW IN STOCK This tool is designed to hang on both the inside or outside of our buckets while providing a safer method for hanging all of our hoist and rigging equipment. 2 of these will easily fit on the long side of our double buckets as well. A lot of guys fly with a piece rope around the outside of the bucket that they use to hang everything from mostly because standard bucket hooks will not hold but 1 tool at a time.It is scary to start adding up how much weight you had hanging from these ropes at any time. As a lineman myself, I know firsthand that you run out of hanging options real fast up there, especially on outside of the bucket. Any tool with a safety latch style hook or carabiner will securely clip over the 6-Banger, and you can trust it to stay there until you reach for it again.If you are running the larger chain hoists like commonly used in transmission work, this becomes an even bigger hazard because they weigh over 100lbs each and will not even hang from a standard hook. The 6-Banger is the solution. We tested this tool at over 1,000lbs hanging from a single hole without failure, and each one is milled from solid 3/4" indestructible material here in Northern Arkansas.Each hole is over 2" wide, allowing even the biggest hoists sufficient room to securely snap into place. These are compatible with all standard bucket hooks. Cut those old ropes out and install a few 6-Bangers, your drop zone and pole buddies under you will be safer from now on.
