I acquired my North Safety Products Saf-T-Climb on eBay in 2009.
The North Safety Products Saf-T-Climb is 164 mm. tall, 99 mm. wide, and 77 mm. thick, and weighs 1702 g. It consists of a cast bronze housings, a cast bronze cam, and a number of minor parts. The housing has a cylindrical bore that covers about 270 degrees. The housing supports five rollers and the cam. One internal compression and one external tension spring act to close the cam, as does weight on the hook.
The left and right sides of the housing has raised cast letters saying "TOP," "U↑P" and "BOTTOM."
This heavy device is a safety that works on a notched pipe that would be permanently fixed beside a ladder. It is obviously closely related to the Air Space Devices Saf-T-Climb, but it omits the lower guide and second hook found on the Air Space Devices. That saves some weight, but the larger top hook reduces the weight savings

I acquired this North Safety Products Saf-T-Grip on eBay from Somsack Mouangsourathsomdy in 2026. My North Safety Products Saf-T-Grip is 299 mm. long, 113 mm. wide, 84 mm. high, and weighs 1615 g.
The North Safety Products Saf-T-Climb is 299 mm. long, 113 mm. wide, 84 mm. high, and weighs 1615 g. It consists of two parallel notched aluminum plates connected by four bars to form a parallelogram linkage on each side, a swivel hook, a dynamic tether, and a number of minor parts. The linkage is spring-loaded. The top plate has two spring-loaded rollers and the bottom three to reduce friction while moving. Steel plates reinforce the gripping edges of the plates.
The swivel hook has a shock absorber connected across the swivel link, suggesting that the link may be designed to break under a sufficient shock load.
There is a tremendous amount of text printed on the device and associated tags, but no rigging illustration or clear instructions.
I've found enough information online to allow me to understand the device, but have not been able to locate an instruction manual or to obtain one from the current manufacturer.
