My Nomics creak at the pick end when I place a lot of weight through them. Do other people experience this with Nomics? I don't think it is anything to worry about... but just checking.

In reply to Mr. Lee:

I always take the mick out of mates using nomics or ergos when tooling cos your right they do creak and sound like there about to snap anytime. But they never do......

old or new ones?
could be the spacer ring or hammer/adze fitting...

In reply to Mr. Lee: I know 2 or 3 people with nomics and I've heard them all creaking when used in a high load situation (overhanging roofs when all/most of their body weight is on the tool).

In reply to Mr. Lee: Never noticed this on mine with dry picks fitted, which are you using? Will have a listen next time I have them out.

In reply to Mr. Lee:

Yeah just to confirm I'm only talking about high load situations I.e. upside down in a cave.

Never heard them creak on a grade 4.

In reply to tom290483:

Yes, just high load situations. They sound like my car rear suspension. At least I know I am trying hard. Maybe I'll climb with headphones like Mark Twight if they start to annoy me.
