WEAVER ARBORIST Throw Weight, 12 oz Nylon Throw Bag for Tree Work, Climbing Rope Weight Bag, Resistant to Tear, Handcrafted Arborist Equipment

Not too heavy or too light

Prior to purchasing I noticed a number of reviews said the 16oz one was too heavy so I got the 12oz model. It has PLENTY of heft to it to throw lines up in a tree. We camp dispersed most of the year and frequently out in the rain. I like putting up tarps when we camp and I put them up using paracord lines. I had a throw weight I made myself but finally decided to get one of these. This worked exceedingly well. It made it so much easier to get the lines up in the trees where I wanted them. Great product.

I purchased this to assist in putting up ham radio dipoles. Here's some things to know. 1. It appears well constructed. I bashed it on trees, had it hit the ground and generally threw it around while putting up antennas and it has held up well to the abuse. 2. It CAN get stuck in trees. While the design is good, if you have to back it up and pull it back over a branch it might get stuck. Not an issue with the design, more a fact of life given how trees are constructed. A heavier weight may be more likely to pull your line over the branch better but a heavier weight might be harder to use. 3. It doesn't seem real heavy but trying to accurately throw it overhand over a tree branch 40 feet up is a real challenge. I'm glad I didn't go with a heavier bag. I ended up using an underhand swinging/sling technique to fling it up and was able to get it quite high. Conclusion: If you're looking for a good weighted bag for helping to put wire antennas up in trees this is a very useful and economical tool.

It works, it can be seen for retrieval and has quality materials in the build. I hesitated at the $10 price at first, but after looking around, the price delivered it good too. We use it to throw lines up over branches for shade tarps while camping. Works for us and never had any complaints from Rangers or otherwise as to our use in Forest camping situations to establish shade or rain tarp lines up higher than we can reach!

Bought this to go with my POTA kit. Using it to put antennas in trees at parks. Works very nice.

Easy to use and very solid quality

Sturdy material, bright color and the 12oz weight make this a very useful tool for getting a rope/wire/hose over tree limbs or onto any high/distant locations. It's heavy enough to get through the leaves on trees, but not so heavy that it would damage my roof. I personally use this nearly every weekend in the summer as we go camping. I attach the throw weight to an extension cord with an outdoor light on one end, then I toss it over a branch on a tree, then I can easily raise the light up in the tree to give overhead light which also attracts the bugs away from us on the ground. I've used it to clear limbs off the roof at my house and have used it in low lying areas in the crawl space under my house and under my deck. I needed to run a hose under my deck and rather than crawling it across, I tossed the throw weight from one side to the other, then pulled the hose across. Simply attach the throw weight to a rope/wire/hose and toss it where you need. A simple tool with many functional uses.

This product worked great and lots of fun throwing it up into the trees! Much easier and safer than throwing rocks up. Not a big deal but it is not made of leather as the description says. I don't know why I never had one of these earlier...

Acabamento não é bom, a costura deve aguentar bem, apesar de não ser como outras marcas. Acredito que seja um excelente custo-benefício.

The build quality on this feels great, its just the right amount of weight and made hanging a bear barrel much faster.

With a bit of practice, works well. Weight seems very good. I was able to throw it up about 30 feet after just a little practice.

Well made throw weight
