Rope guide or pulleysaver

[jameshs22]

Recently lost my pulley saver and need to replace. Is the rope guide any better? Both seem very similar to me but rope guide is a little more expensive? Any feedback appreciated

I'm quite happy with my pulleysaver. But I think the newest rope guide has more options.

I'll sometimes remove the pulleysaver before I'm on the ground.

I have the twin line. Its good that you can install and retrieve from the ground and you have a (srt) rescue line ready to go ... but there's an awful lot of rope involved and i can get a bit messy. I also brought the shorter rope (can't recall the name) to turn it back into a rope guide for smaller trees but that adds another 65quid.

Rope guide all the way.  I wouldn't have another pulley saver.  It does the job but is a poor imitation of the original rope guide IMO

Has to be ropeguide for me. Original is still the best for my needs

Can’t believe your positioner was left out of the shot!

 nobody has mentioned the fundamental difference between the two. 

 

On the rope guide, the cam releases on retrieval, bringing more slack into the system. This doesn't happen with a pulley saver as the pulley is tied with a prussik.

 

Makes a big difference, worth a few quid extra
