havending Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I got a couple new large claw imports and I want to do inflate balls but I have had issues with knobby balls sticking to import claws. Some sort of static. any one used these in an import do they stick? http://www.rinovelty.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/products.detail/item/SBGRAF5/graffix_ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcow Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yeah but just adjust the rings on the claw all the way to the top to make it less clamped that will resolve ur issue. I no longer have any probs with thatb after adjusting the rings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musser Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 They will work, if you use a lot of balls rinovelty has had free shipping for show orders the last few years, you will save a lot. I usually load up at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronsidney Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The reason the balls stick to the metal claws is because the plastic can't slide on the claw, when it compresses and closes it then "locks" in place in curve of claw and wont slip so it cant fall out.. those graphic balls i ran a million of them a few years ago from champion balls,,they where like 50 cents each and you could inflate them big if you wanted and they wouldn't pop like the knobbys did.(almost wrecked one day when a knobby exploded in bag behind my seat).. may run some of these again as its been a while since my stops have seen them.. i have used the "hairy side" of velcro stick on tape for years with no problems on these type balls and knobbys..i stick it to entire finger of claw so it will allow balls to slide loose..i once found some small "sock" type of material tube that worked great also,and i slide onto fingers.. best way i can describe why they stick is like getting one and sliding it across say a mirror or glass or then sliding it across a bed sheet or carpet..you can see which one will allow it to slide when compressed against it.. ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Vending Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Corrugated plastic tubing ( like what sometimes goes around wiring) works well on the fingers of the claw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works great I also use two small zip ties to secure velcro so it don't peal off Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
