A bit of an odd request, I need some hangers for lifting boulders/rocks. Only 2 or three at the moment, but they don?t need to be petzl or dogs bollocks. Just angle iron will do.
The thing is I need the bolt hole to be 10mm, I cocked up years ago when trying out bolting, bought dewalt screwbolts (wrong brand, apparently) and I also bought for an 8mm hole, but dipstick here didn?t realise that the thread would naturally be bigger than 8mm and therefore not fit hangers with an 8mm hole.
I want to pull some rocks out of a hole (some approaching 1m in size). As it?s only surface at the moment it would be great to have a hanger that I can use to get the rocks out of the way. If I need to haul a greater distance than 2-4m then I?ll shift to other methods.
I already have half a dozen petzl hangers and throughbolts for them, but the idea of using up the dewalt screwbolts is more tempting and eco friendly.
