Buying Comealongs

[freshjive]

Anyone know where you can buy a set of comealongs that are already made up? Also can you order them in different legnths?

I tried our sponsors first. You'd think we would have something like that here.

I'm not sure on the lengths thing, but more on the weight amount. I'm afraid I only know WHAT it is.....which is a first around here!

Here, see if this link helps you any:

Not sure about buying em already made up...we usually get the blocks/hooks, and make em up ourselves, for whatever length we want......

Swain Distribution has the blocks etc....www.swaindistribution.com.......

ask for Jason or Sean

Oh dear Lord....a comealong is not a comealong as far as line work goes.

I should have known. Sorry guys.

You have no reason to be sorry. What you stated was correct. A come-a-long is a come-a-long and has no business any where near line work. He's talking about slack blocks like Brian showed. I've never heard of them coming already made up. You make them yourself to the length you want like Bill said.

Well, I'm still kinda confused Tramplineman.

So, slack blocks are called come-a-longs in some linework cases?

Now, you guys have to admit that you all have different names for some tools or linework phrases and words. It can be confusing....at least for someone like me.

I think you got it right LA. A come-a-long is what you posted. Great for numerous applications including linework (de-energized of course). Freshjive may have used the wrong name for a set of slackies.

In the northeast they have always been called comies or come alongs. Just my 2 cents!
