So what was the original use for the SportRachet? From what I understand its for snowboarders. True?
I bought one of these from a outdoor outfitter that was going out of business 5 yrs ago (i think)....for $12
still rockin
Yes they were designed for board sports , Snow , skate , water etc. The reason SAKs have red scales is so they can be spotted easily if dropped in the snow but if you dropped the SporRatchet its so heavy it would dissapear and cause an avalanche

There is a review on its way .
