New air clamp hanger idea

You are not wrong… I have made the mistake. I thought it was just a clamp.

Interesting

Do you think it would be possible to grip the head with this bugger? Or grip similar to how a noose grips, but without the danger factor?

BTW, I have quite a few of these overlooked goodies saved in my favorites, this particularly one had me tossing and turning a few nights ago, I just had to know how it turned out. Big Shooter pick up!

I can’t say, I cant imagine you could go that high in weight but who knows. The only reason I’m not going to build one is the inconvenience of putting the air in and out. As far as the modified wench I think I would stick with the cable clamp with that one for easy off and on.

I can’t believe I missed this thread, also. Very interesting concept:

I’ve been looking for a way around the expensive silicon sleeves for the vacuum hanging idea. Comfy and effective, but just not practical for long term hanging, the inner-tube would be practically indestructible.

The only downside I see is the knots. The knots in the inner-tube look like they would be uncomfortable, might pinch or chafe the skin, otherwise it looks pretty good. I agree the valve stem would also be a pain. The need of a bicycle pump and all.

I’m thinking something like this but with the Neonatal BP cuff might work better. Then you could pump it up with just a squeeze bulb. I think I have a couple of Monty’s air-clamps around somewhere. Maybe lining the inside of a PVC end cap, or even one of MB’s old Vacuum Hanger head caps might improve the idea. Looks like this might handle 15 pounds, but I bet there is a lot of skin stretch.
