These were RECALLED!
Added 2023-02-08 14:00:03 +0000 UTCEver get to an old hanger while climbing, clipped it, and wonder how strong it is? Bobby got his hands on recalled hangers, death hangers, niche hangers, discontinued hangers and we broke them all. A total of 27 tests. Some were old hangers that have never that had been installed and others that have been on the wall for 44 years. These include SMC Death hangers and recalled Leeper Hangers because they were so susceptible to SCC (stress crack corrosion) and could break under body weight. We have learned as a community that stainless steel hangers, made of thicker stock, are way better.
