Looking for some tips on attaching the tool to my belt better than that useless clip that comes on the end of the handle. I can't get the handle off the thing for nothing.

cant you just take the snap off and put a little biner in that ring then.

Is this the one that you have? How do you like it?
Can you cut that swivel snap off and use the ring to attach a biner to?

Yes that is the sidekick. The ring is essentially a carter pin. It pulled out, didn't take much. Upon seeing the engineering off that setup I was quick to devise something else. I tried to pull the handle off but that seems impossible. What I need to do is drill another hole into the handle to thread something through to get started. Just wondering, first if anyone had a better idea. Others must have tried to lose that carter pin, dog snap setup it was heavy.
And yes, I like it. Other that the dog snap, carter pin it's pretty rigid. It's not the greatest tool in the bag to have to "reach" for because anticipating using it is a pita, it's a bit awkward to extend the thing in a tree but it sure beats other methods I've used to reach for a rope. It's pricey at $50. for sure but I've made the money back in time a couple of times over. It's lite weight too.
