Spreader Bar Lock Tube


Has anybody used one of these before? It's a product from PKS Distribution. Is it so your chicken loop doesn't accidently come off your spreader bar?
In the past I've had my chicken loop accidently pop off my spreader bar in a lull situation. I have an Ozone SB harness without the D ring. It really caught me off guard and scared me quite a bit. I thought it might be a product worth buying to give me a little piece of mind, or would it be more of a PITA than anything?

Seems only necessary if your chicken loop hardware does not already have a 'chickenfinger'? (some people call them a donkey----), definitely easier to mod a chickenfinger to the harness spreader than re-engineering a chicken loop addition.

(And fwiw when you state you have a Ozone SB harness, no need to specify spreader bar, that's what the SB in the name of the harness means, vs the XC which is the d-ring)



Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.
