@tzxj3n Well, yes, but the design was modified so it no longer is lever actuated. Da-Tug 2 uses a Milwaukee Hole Hawg to run a capstan drum. To take up line just run the drill, and add a little tension to the rope which is wrapped around the drum three times. It still uses one dog to hold the load, and also has a foot operated lever which releases the dog, and line can be let out by just easing up tension on the rope wound on the drum.
Hello reidnaueri know how to get the load down, in a slow way so it dosent fall fast! email me
for my design

Hey, fellow LHBA member here. Did you ever figure out the reverse on this?

the basic principle is kinda Medievel... that of a crossbow claw. The dogs part of it though, is rather clever!

Very nice. Just need to design a way to lower the load and you've really got something.

Great video! Da-Tug is mechanical advantage at its finest.
