Bullwhip and Stock Whip Falls and Crackers
Falls and crackers take the brunt of the wear when a whip is used, and require replacement as needed.
We sell replacement whip crackers, and provide easy instructions online for replacing the whip cracker.
With normal use, the end of the whip fall wears off, shortening the fall. Depending upon use, a fall worn down to under 12 - 18 inches needs replacing. Falls also stretch and thin down, and should be replaced when they have become noticeably thinner than the end of the thong. Red hide falls tend more to hold their thickness but to break off, white hide falls tend to stretch more but break off more slowly, and need watching for getting too thin. In addition, the kangaroo strands adjacent to the fall will in time break because of the sharp flexing at this point. The fall should be replaced as soon as the first strand breaks. Depending on the condition of the strands, expect to lose an average of 6 inches in length of the whip thong. You may replace falls yourself, following our easy instructions, or return the whip to us for such replacement. We will replace whip falls at a flat fee of $35.00 plus handling. [See #SPEC’L-FL Whip Fall Replacement]
Signal Whip Cracker Replacement
The braided cracker on our braided leather signal whip is braided into the point of the whip. Over time this cracker will need replacing. We charge a flat fee of $35 plus handling to replace the signal whip cracker. [See #SPEC’L-CR Signal Whip Cracker Replacement]
General Whip Repairs
We offer limited whip repair services in addition to our fall and signal whip replacement services. We charge $35/hour (one hour minimum charge) for repairs plus handling and any additional insurance for whips valued over $250. Most repairs we undertake take 1-3 hours to complete. If it looks like repairs to your whip will take longer than 2 hours, we will contact you. If a whip is deemed irreparable, we will return the whip and charge only the minimum one hour charge plus our standard handling fee and any applicable insurance. [See #SPEC’L-WHIP General Whip Repair]
Good whips, properly used and maintained, should give long service. Please check our Whip Care page for further information on caring for your whip so as to avoid damage.
