Schaefer Type 2 Aluminum Rope Clutches

Schaefer Type 2 (Aluminum) Rope Clutches The Schaefer 2nd generation Clutch (Halyard or Sheet Stopper, or Line Jammer), known as the EGR (Easy Grip & Release), was introduced in 1983. It featured all aluminum (black anodized) construction, except for S.S. bolts and springs. It was also available in 2 sizes: the smaller handled line 1/4"-3/8", the larger 3/8"-1/2". Both sizes were commonly available as single units, or in banks of two or three. Originally these units had color-coded plastic-tipped handles, but later on the handles were anodized in different colors and had no plastic tips (much less gooey in the hot sun). Although they gripped and released easily, under extreme loads they didn't hold as well as the First generation units. The EGR (Type 2) Clutches were produced from 1983-1993. A limited supply of these items are still available. To determine which Size of Type 2 Rope Clutch you have, measure the handle width (3/8" or 5/8"). Except for the Replacement Handles listed below, no other parts are available for these units.
