Multisaver or Fimblsaver

[Paul Tomo]

I’m thinking of buying a Teufelberger Multisaver from one of the arb dealers but one of the dealers tried to sell me a Fimblclimb instead of the Multisaver. To my thinking the Multisaver has more uses than the Fimblclimb, both are about the same price. Could you please help me with some advice on both these items and which one would be the one that is more useful. I would say the Multisaver but my question is to you which one.

 

many thanks

Thanks for the reply tree man, I’ll be thinking the same think, the Multisaver it is.

Never really seen much of a need for the multisaver personally, though I'm sure it's extra possibilities will appeal to others.

I have the fimblclimb and highly rate it. The steel thimbles are less prone to damage from landing on pavements, stone etc. So it's great for street trees where you don't want to be clattering your pulley saver on to the road. 

It also packs down pretty small so that I can take it with me as a secondary anchor point if I find myself using a v/m rig or the likes. If you're using 11mm climbing line/a line with a slaice the fimblclimb is ideal, otherwise you'd probably need the fimblsaver which is a bit heavier and less compact. The fimblclimb and fimblsavers are different though, so watch that!

I like my fat ropes so I don't think I could use the fimblclimb (big hands big gloves etc). I have a multisaver but to be honest not sure what it has over the fimblesaver except with 3 rings I can clip ends and middle onto my harness so it doesn't dangle down without having to knot it or anything. Likewise when using it on a pole I put the rope through all 3 rings and that keeps the end up out of my spikes.

I know LOLER can’t test the equipment you make up yourself but what’s wrong with making up your own pulley saver, we make up how own friction hitches and If you use the right size equipment and use the right equipment for the right job thenI guess you can but does it comes down to insurance.
