Rock & Ice Review
Cam Doctor Until recently, my cams - Camalots, Aliens, Friends and various TCUs - were a salvage yard of kinked, frayed and broken trigger cables. One, a large black cam that shall remain nameless, even had a trigger wire that kept pulling out, requiring re-threading before each placement, a quirk I would "forget" to related to my partners: "I didn't tell you about the trick wire? Oops. Sorry." I could, of course, have shipped each cam off to its respective factory for a tune-up, but who has boxes, and where do you send them? Thankfully, the Cam Doctor makes house calls. The Doc's do-it-yourself trigger-cable repair kit (£39.99) has enough wires, cables and swages to patch up 10 or so units, and comes with a nifty crimping tool that gives you endless options for rigging hanging stoves, keeper cords, etc.
Repairing my first trigger wire took about an hour and three tries to get just right. It was a steep, tedious learning curve, and required reading the included instructions, something I hadn't done since screwing the new barbecue grill together. However, I now have the repair process so dialled I could hang up a "Triggers Fixed Here" sign. The Cam Doctor has given my tired cam rack (and my partners) a new lease on life.
