Technical Details

I acquired my Forrest Wonder Bar from John E. Weinel, Inc. in 1985.

The Forrest Wonder Bar consists of an aluminum tube bolted to a machined spacer and an aluminum angle with a 5/8-in bolt. A steel roll pin is added to keep the bar from rotating. The angle is drilled to provide an eye for attaching the Wonder Bar to an anchor. A long quick-release pin keeps the tag end of the rope from coming out of the device. My Forrest Wonder Bar is 305 mm. tall, 146 mm. wide, 74 mm. thick, and weighs 1833 g.

There are no markings on my Wonder Bar.

Comments

Large-diameter spools provide some of the smoothest control of any device, and the Wonder Bar is no exception; however, since the spool is oriented in line with the rope, it does tend to induce some rope twisting.
