Hazardous Foreign Objects and Intentionally Misidentification

As Harken knows, the industry standard is to identify this type of ring by the circumferential groove diameter and NOT the center bore. Compare Notch and Tylaska rings in the photo. Note that the much larger Tylaska is identified as 26; while Harken is marked 28. The notched ring is fully marked as 38 x 28. Also note the groove edges around the perimeter. The edges of the notch groove are correctly machined. Harken edges are sharp enough to snap line under load. This can be fatal in forestry…

Pros
  • Weight: 2.65g
Cons
