Warren and Sweat climbers
« on: June 02, 2008, 05:32:45 AM »
Does anyone know what happened to the company that makes Warren and Sweat climbers?   I inherited an old climber from a relative and would like to get another but I cannot find them anywhere.

If I'm not mistaken they went under a few years back.  There was a guy on ebay selling W&S stands a year or so back.  I bought a couple fixed stands and they were new and sealed in the box.

I don't but I hope they folded and went out of business. I cannot speak to all their stands but the one I purchased had to be the most dangerous stand I've ever seen much less owned. They were nice enough to exchange it for another in their product line that I felt was at least a safe stand but by then I as dead set against them since they continued to make the completely unsafe ones. I gave that safe one to my oldest son and never used it a time.

The one I bought that was unsafe really had nothing but a small pin holding all my weight up in that tree and it was very springy. Had that pin broken I'd have been on the ground and the way the piece it held moved up and down several inches as my weight changed I'm sure it would have broken soon. Too many of their designs were in my opinion totally unsafe and it was merely a matter of time before someone died or was crippled for life due to the poor design. Perhaps it happened and someone sued them out of business if so it's a good riddance in my view as they should never have marketed many of the stands they did.

Mine was a chief executive or some such similar sounding name. I've tried hard to forget it.
