Wild Country Ropeman 3 Product Recall
October 30, 2012, 10:53:57 am
As per title Ropeman 3 are being recalled.

Have to send mine back (but they replace with Ropeman 1 or 2 along with a locking karabiner and throw in a draw to cover postage if sending direct to them, excellent customer relations  :2thumbsup: ).

Wow, don't remember an entire product ever being recalled before! Must admit I thought the spiked cam of the Mk2 was an improvement, surprised they went back to the flat ridged cam.

Might've been so that it could be used on slings.

Why would you want to do that?

Personally I wouldn't. But they had that as one of the differences with the mk2

Create your own adjustable daisy and other (mainly aid/american?) uses.

Guess I  may be waiting a while for the MK3 to be replaced with the MK2. What with there being a total recall.

Jogged my memory, sent mine back two and a half to three weeks ago but not got a replacement yet, might have to chase it up later.

Likewise, but I'm thinking they'll be snowed under. hopefully will turn up for chrimbo and feel like a gift. I wonder how many ropeman MKIII in total were sold since release?

oooh, super glad I sent it, today I received the mk2 with locking biner and a xenon quickdraw, and I won't die!

ditto here, sent by ups too (and the driver had the common sense to leave it with a neighbor unlike royal mail).

really good that they're doing this. because as stated in the letter that accompanied it they still meet the legal requirements. brilliant that a company looks/thinks beyond those obligations.
