Skots Extendo Rivet Hanger

Skot's Extendo Rivet Hanger is long enough for those out of reach rivets - order a pair for those unbelievably far spaced rivet ladders.

Extendo Hangers do not cinch down when weighted. When an Extendo is weighted it squeezes down and pinches the rivet or bolt making it stay securely behind the head of the rivet or bolt. The Extendo is not left behind as pro, and by it not cinching down, the life of the wire is greatly extended. Cinch hangers quickly ‘pig tail’ and curl up when cinched repeatedly, this wears out and weakens the wire, leading to failure.

The 1/8” size will work on all but the most over driven rivets or bolts, but for specific projects a 3/32” (2.38mm) size may be available to special order - please contact us.

Length: 12” (c 30.5cm).
Diameter: 1/8" (3.175mm).

However, though quick to place, a standard cable Rivet Hanger will not cinch over the head when weighted, which can be a problem when getting high on the top steps of your etrier as it could pop off due to the outward force you start creating when the rivet is below waist height.

A cinch (or butterfly) Rivet negates this problem as once weighted the cable will cinch up against the head.

Moses' other hangers also negate this when a krab is attached, locking the hanger in place, the problem with these are they are tricky to place over a head when the distance between the heads are quite far apart. Often when a rivet ladder is made the first ascensionist would make these distances tricky for future parties, otherwise they could just have made a bolt ladder. If you are a short climber, some of these rivet ladders are really hard which is why Skot made the Extendo.
