Prohaska-prohgrip-blakes-vs-suislide-friction-hitch-warning.png


Summary

Description
English: Heinz Prohaska's 'Prohgrip' (names vary) showed in Nylon Highway 1990 and Jason Blake was showing arborists what he invented around 1995, but that is what made it more popular and to many, especially arborists is known as Blakes. Placing the tail/Bitter End to the best Nip position in any knot : opposite side of host than initial load pull is correct. Errantly , placing same on the initial load side pull where worst Nip always is , gives the very appropriately named SuiSlide!
