Friction hitches demand precise cord characteristics and consistent sewn terminations to ensure correct dressing, predictable engagement, and controlled movement on climbing lines. This hitch cord is built to support reliable performance during ascent, work positioning, and descent in professional tree work environments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePurpose built for friction hitch systems\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sewn eye to eye hitch is developed specifically for arborist friction hitch applications, where cord diameter, grip, and heat management play a key role in system behaviour. The 8 mm diameter supports compact hitch configurations while allowing responsive engagement on compatible climbing lines. Sewn terminations help maintain consistent eye size and reduce bulk at connection points, supporting repeatable setup and cleaner interaction with hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA-TEC cord construction with enhanced durability\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Copious A-TEC is manufactured using Stein A-TEC accessory cord, combining a polyester and Technora cover with a polyester core. This construction delivers high abrasion resistance alongside improved heat resistance, helping manage the friction generated during controlled descent and repeated loading. The grippy handling characteristics support confident adjustment and fine control when tending or releasing the hitch under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTested compatibility and certification\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stein Copious A-TEC 8mm Sewn Eye to Eye Hitch has been independently tested in configuration with Stein climbing lines ACR16, ACR24, and ACR32. As with all friction cords containing polyester elements, thorough inspection before, during, and after each climb is essential to maintain safe operation. The finished product is CE and UKCA certified to EN 795(B):2012, with the accessory cord itself tested to CE EN 564 standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSewn eye to eye friction hitch designed for arborist climbing systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 mm diameter cord supporting compact and responsive hitch setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured from Stein A-TEC accessory cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyester and Technora cover for abrasion and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyester core supporting consistent structure and handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrippy handling characteristics for controlled ascent and descent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat resistant construction suited to demanding friction hitch use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependently tested with Stein ACR16, ACR24, and ACR32 lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished product certified to EN 795(B):2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCE and UKCA certified for professional arborist use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fletcher Stewart","offers":[{"title":"65cm","offer_id":52565201977687,"sku":"SS-3710122065","price":17.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"75cm","offer_id":52565202010455,"sku":"SS-3710122075","price":17.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/0785\/8263\/files\/Stein-Copious-A-TEC-8mm-Sewn-Eye-to-Eye-Hitch.jpg?v=1768715498","url":"https:\/\/treeworker.com\/products\/stein-copious-a-tec-8mm-sewn-eye-to-eye-hitch","provider":"www.treeworker.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
