Hi Dan
We use the MSR pot lifter you show ALL the time. Yes, I have other ones, but I don’t use them. It will hold a 2 L pot.
So the big Q is whether you can make one lighter with the same functionality.
Cheers
Apr 23, 2019 at 11:49 am #3590009Thank you Roger, good to know that someone of your experience has zeroed in on a specific brand/design. I ordered 2 and they due to arrive Tomorrow. After viewing them, I should be able to tell if I can design a lighter one :)
Apr 23, 2019 at 1:40 pm #3590019Easy solution, A pot with a removable handle.

Apr 23, 2019 at 9:13 pm #3590081I would expect that you could. Obviously MSR will have HAD to over-engineer their pot lifter to cater for mistreatment by novices, but by just how much … dunno. Interesting experiment.
I suggest either 7075 Al alloy or Ti. The 7075 will be difficult to bend as needed while avoiding cracking. 6Al4V Ti would need to be formed hot to avoid cracking, but CP Ti should be formable. Making up the dies needed if you want to ‘produce’ them would be a lot of work.
I suspect Al rivets might wear out rather quickly at the pivot. SS rivets, if you can get them, would be much better.
Cheers
Apr 24, 2019 at 1:32 am #3590128Mybe cast aluminum or magnesium would work. I’ve been using this no name spring loaded lifter for the past 20 years.

Interesting thought though.Cheers
