pilotdave 0 #1 October 16, 2009 http://stowlikeapro.com/Home_Page.html Any thoughts? Looks unbelievably pointless and overpriced to me. I can't believe that wouldnt double the time it would take me to stow my lines... which doesn't hurt my hands. I mean, I'm not a rigger or packer so I'm not doing tons of packjobs a day. One a day seems like too many to me. But does this look like a good idea to you? Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

captain1976 0 #10 October 16, 2009 I can see it as a useful tool for someone with arthritis or some other ailment that restricts movement, but can't see it for anything else. I think packing, stowing and closing is great exercise for the fingers and hands.You live more in the few minutes of skydiving than many people live in their lifetime Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Para5-0 0 #13 October 17, 2009 Quite possibly the absolute dumbest thing I have ever seen in this sport. I will LMAO if I ever see someone using this thing on the mat..Better yet it should be driven into their eye socket. No offense to the 30 seconds that went into coming up with this thing.

davelepka 4 #16 October 19, 2009 QuoteI have problems with my grip and it would actually help me a lot No joke, but if your grip gives you trouble packing, how does that effect your ability to pull handles, risers or toggles? As far as this 'tool' goes, I think the guy made this thing to solve all of his packing problems, and he's about to find out that nobody else has these problems. Especially not for $90.

LuckyMcSwervy 0 #21 October 22, 2009 Quote I have problems with my grip and it would actually help me a lot Quote No joke, but if your grip gives you trouble packing, how does that effect your ability to pull handles, risers or toggles? Good question. It's actually just working with the rubber bands that kills my hands (and nails ). They're very tight (to me). I'm okay with handles, risers and toggles. I've never had an issue and if I did I would sit my ass out. I don't want to hurt myself or my friends. But thanks for bringing that up. I do appreciate your concern with those very important areas!!

fcajump 164 #23 October 22, 2009 Quote This appears to be a solution in search of a problem. Its a solution looking for buyers with money. I'll put it next to the "Softer" If you really do have an issue with stows, you could try with a packing hook (see http://www.paragear.com/templates/parachutes.asp?group=239&level=2&parent=29) At least its cheaper... On the other hand, it usually takes many ideas on paper or in prototype before the hit item comes along. Keep trying! JWAlways remember that some clouds are harder than others...

buff 0 #24 October 22, 2009 I wonder if the "Hand Lettered" logo pull up cord is included in the price. I already stow like a pro and it sure doesn't cost me the price of 4 jump tickets to do it.It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.
