Premium grade climbing line designed to offer tree care profes-
sionals quick and easy access to the tops of trees. Arborists who
prefer that “broken in” feeling will appreciate Samson’s propri-
etary “Sure Grip” technology which gives Velocity that broken-in
feeling the first time used. The lightweight and firm construction
offers the arborist exceptional footlocking capabilities, quick
access, excellent knot holding ability and a spliced strength of
6,000 lbs.
Velocity Cool ➤ CLIMBING ROPE
World-class champion climbers and professionals at
ArborMaster® Training worked closely with Samson engineers to
develop the ultimate climbing line. ArborMaster ropes are
premium quality 16-strand ropes offering a smooth durable
surface to optimize footlocking. They are non-milking, making
them spliceable at both ends right out of the bag. This allows
you to alternate the working end of the rope from the first use
ROPE STRENGTH Standards for Rope Strength and UsageNew Rope Tensile Strengths: New Rope tensile strengths are based on tests of new and unused rope of standard construction in accordancewith manufacturer’s Standard Test Methods. It can be expected that strengths will decrease as soon as a rope is put into use. Because ofthe wide range of rope use, changes in rope conditions, exposure to many factors affecting rope behavior, and the possibility of risk to lifeand property, it is impossible to cover all aspects of rope applications or to make blanket recommendations as to working loads.
Working Loads: Working loads are the loads that a rope is subject to in everyday activity. They are normally expressed as a percentage ofnew rope strength and should not exceed 10% unless specified by the manufacturer. A point to remember is that a rope may be severelyoverloaded or shock loaded without breaking. However, damage and strength loss may have occurred without any visible indication. Thenext time the rope is used under normal working loads, the acquired weakness may cause it to break.
Samson Rope Splicing Kit
This splicing kit includes an instructionsheet, small pusher, and the followingfids: 1/4" (5mm), 5/16" (8mm), 3/8"(9mm), 7/16" (10mm), and 1/2" (12mm).

Anchor BridgeClimbing SystemThis system modifiesthe split tail system inorder to give it a selftending capability. Itallows the climber tobe much safer andmore efficient in atree. Adaptable to anyharness, climbing line,climbing hitch, and hitch cord, the AnchorBridge greatly reduces the upper bodystress associated with tree climbing andeliminates slack in a climber’s system. Theset includes 2 custom spliced eye-and-eyetails and #3 bronze swivel eye boat snap.

Throwline BIGshotThe BIGshot has been redesigned and is more accurate and 25% lighter than before! Thanks to computer-
aided design (CAD), Jameson was able to reduce excess bulk and weight from the head assembly while
keeping the same wide-fork dimension that has made this such a popular throwline accessory. While they
were at it, Jameson redesigned the launch pad to reduce in-air projectile rotation by 50%, greatly improving
accuracy (also available as a sling replacement for older models). Jameson improved the leading and most
effective means of accurately launching a throw weight into tree canopies and over targets up to 200 feet.

Dynaglide by New England Ropes
This highly visible snag free throwline is made from 100% HMPE
(High Modulus Polyethylene) that is pre-stretched and tensile-set
then treated with an abrasion resistant vinyl coating that easily
glides over bark. The compact design glides easily over branches
allowing lighter throw weights.

FreeThrow Line
FreeThrow is the ulti-
mate in throwline and
utility line. FreeThrow is
a 1/8" diameter. 100%
polyethylene monofila-
ment diamond braid
line.
The first throwline line designed specifically for the professional
arborist. Samson’s Zing-It offers high strength, low stretch, and
excellent abrasion resistance to enhance durability - all in a
small diameter, lightweight throwing line.
Zing-It helps you achieve higher throws with lighter weights,
greater control due to its low stretch, and the ability to pull down
“hangers” due to its high strength. The special coating reduces
abrasion and allows Zing-It to glide easily over the roughest
bark. Zing-It’s low coefficient of friction allows the bag to easily
reach the ground on the first throw. Use for either hand or
mechanical throwing.

Weaver’s new Cordura® Throw Weights are their strongest yet. Cordura® is a high-
performance fabric resistant to abrasions, tears, and scuffs and is twice as durable
as standard nylon. In addition to the Cordura® exterior, Weaver has coated the #8
shot to protect it from moisture and wrapped it in a balloon to keep the shot encap-
sulated and compacted for better trajectories. The new D-ring at the top of the bag
is nickel-plated die-cast zinc to prevent rusting. Available in traditional single color
and new two-color bags with bottom loop and redesigned aerodynamic design.
(Cordura® is a registered trademark for durable fabrics.)
Cordura® 2-Color Design
These premium Cordura® throw weights
from Weaver have a new aerodynamic
design to go along with the highly visible
2-color cover. There is a loop on the bot-
tom of the weight to attach an accessory
carabiner. The nickel-plated D-ring
prevents rusting.

Arbormaster® Friction Savers
Buckingham’s Friction Saver is the only product of its kind tohave a patent and the ArborMaster® name. This product hasbeen redesigned to make installation and retrieval from theground easier. In addition, the large diameter cross-sectionFriction Saver minimizes friction by limiting the sharp bend inyour climbing line. This makes climbing easier, reduces prema-ture wear to your climbing line, and eliminates damage to thecambium caused by excess friction. It offers minimal friction whenworking from different positions in the tree and can be wrappedaround a stem for use as a false crotch where no natural crotchexists. Rated to 5,000 lbs.
