Greg German demonstrates spinning and a hydraulic puller tool at the Future of Fixed Anchors II Conference in Red Rocks on April 2, 2016 by removing a wedge bolt. The purpose of this technique is to aid the removal of old climbing anchors in order to reuse the old hole and upgrade to better hardware. Visit https://www.accessfund.org/ffa for the full proceedings of the conference.
Please note that this technique exerts extreme force on the anchor and surrounding rock — “dinner plating” (i.e. a plate of rock fracturing off at the surface of the hole) or compromising the rock in some other way is a possibility when using this technique and will depend on rock type. The best uses of this tool are still being worked out by the rebolting community.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMERS

Project History & More Info:
This project was inspired by my good friend Ritchie Kinmont with https://www.sonicdad.com.
We collaborated together on a design for a rocket that could be powered by the sugar motors I showed you how to make in a previous video (https://bit.ly/SugarRocket) made with PVC, sugar, kitty litter, and stump remover.
The new “Screw-Lock” version features threaded PVC risers, that allow the motors to quickly be changed, for faster turn-around times, and they have built in ejection charges for popping out the parachute at apogee.
Last year I promised that if there was enough interest, I’d try to develop a rocket that could be used with the sugar motors .. and my goal was to build a version where the sugar motors could screw onto the bottom of the rocket for convenience.
At the beginning of the year, the Sonic Dad team reached looking to do some kind of a collaboration, and the timing was perfect. So I asked Ritchie if he could help me engineer a sugar rocket.
Most rocket clubs won’t let you fly sugar motors, except on special experimental launch days. However, the “Randomizer” rocket can also be used with commercial “Estes” D12-3 and E9-6 black power motors. So if you go with those, there’s a good chance they’ll let you fly your rocket at any club launch.
The rocket can fly over 1,000 feet high, and depending on the winds, can stay in the air for around 5 minutes while it floats back to the ground, so it’s important to be super cautious where, and when, you launch to avoid doing any damage.
This video completes the rocket building series, and I’m really excited to share my passion for building and launching rockets with completely home-made equipment. In my opinion, it’s the best way to learn about how rocketry really works.
