The team rigger now has the tools necessary to allow them to support their unit mission in the field at all times.

For just the price of a jump ticket you can get an all-around tool which will last for years. The Power tool will help to close your main container, replace line stow bands, ease in 3-ring assembly and slider bumper installation. Better yet, you can wear it as a necklace or ankle bracelet when you are done. The Power tool is a rigger designed tool made specifically for closing your main container without getting those uncomfortable cuts from pull-up cords. The stainless steel handle has a double finger trapped Spectra line that is made to easily remove from one end of the handle in order to pass through main closing loop. The stainless steel handle allows for maximum pulling leverage while not being uncomfortable on your hands. With the addition of other applications that the Power tool can be used for, it makes it an invaluable accessory for any skydiver.

This tool is a 4" closing plate similar to the more common 12" knee plate. This tool works very well with the No. S7325 and No. S7305 Ultimate Closing Devices. It is very useful on most modern rigs where you want to sink the pilot chute or a flap down between the ears of the molar bag. It does not sit up on top of the molar ears like the 12 " knee plate and is much less cumbersome while closing any of the flaps. Like the Ultimate Closing Device, it is made from 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum, and because of its size it is a "MUST HAVE" for any portable rigger's kit. Dimensions: 4" L X 4" W X 0.25 D.
Shipping Weight: 1 lb. (455g).

The Rigger's new best friend, and most versatile closing device available. This device can help shorten the time to close a reserve container over the traditional type of positive leverage closing device. This is a variation on the Positive Leverage Closing Device or T-Bar. This positive leverage closing device is machined from a 1" bar of aluminum and is 12" long. It has the unique feature of a square receptacle end that accepts any common 3/8" drive tool such as a ratchet, torque wrench, or breaker bar (This item does not come with any 3/8" drive tool). It also comes with a 9” turn handle for when you don’t want to use a drive tool, or don’t have one handy. The additional length of the bar gives you the freedom to turn the 9” handle without bumping into the container. Either way you choose to use this device, it will give you the most versatility of any closing device.

The Rigger's new best friend. This device can help shorten the time to close a reserve container over the traditional type of positive leverage closing device. This is a variation on the Positive Leverage Closing Device or T-Bar. This positive leverage device is machined from a 1" bar of aircraft aluminum and is 6/12" long. It has the unique feature of a square receptacle end that accepts any common 3/8" drive tool such as a ratchet, torque wrench, or breaker bar (This item does not come with any 3/8" drive tool). It also comes with a 9” turn handle for when you don’t want to use a drive tool, or don’t have one handy. Given the shorter length of this closing device, most people choose not to use the 9" turn handle.

By inserting the hook in the size 0 grommet of the reserve container, and the ripcord cable in the slot of the pull check tool, you can check the pull force of the reserve ripcord without opening the container. This device does not work on the top pin of some pilot rigs where the angle of the pull is extreme.

The ideal tool to solve the problem with those tight reserve closing loops. This curved hollow ended temporary pin allows the dull round ripcord pin to easily push through the closing loop. Since the pointed end of the temporary pin is easier to push into the closing loop, simply put the ripcord pin in the other end and push until the loop slides over the temporary pin and ripcord pin back. Why didn't someone come up with this before? Stainless steel.

This cable cutter, with its unique triangular jaws, never leaves a frayed end when it cuts. Because of the special shape of the blades, cables are not crushed, but cut progressively. A cable when crushed or deformed in cutting is difficult to use with fittings. This cutter requires less force to cut ripcord cable than a typical pair of side cutters, and provides a consistently better cut. This small single-hand cutter is compact, light and very easy to handle. Its quality and long life make it particularly suitable for manufacturing and repairs in all fields of industry and craft. Capacity of 3/16" and smaller diameter cable. Length 8". Weight 10 oz. This cutter is made from hardened steel blades and center bolt, pressed steel handles that are contoured with plastic covering which provides for a good grip.
