What is the Painter Hitch Used For? A painter is the name of a rope that is attached to the bow of a small boat or dinghy. This hitch is often used when tying up or towing small water craft. Having said that, the Tumble Hitch is often used by cowboys and ranchers, as it is a relatively secure hitch.
The Painter Hitch or the Tumble Hitch is a good secure way of attaching a rope to an object, this hitch also has the benefit of being quick release. Some people shy away from knots that are slipped, but I find that if the knot is dress smartly and tightly, then there is little chance of the hitch being tripped accidentally. However, as I always say, you are the master of your own knots, so the choice of course is yours.
The Painter Hitch is also a useful hitch that can easily be used on dog leads and dog leashes.
