Not yet but its about to be CE marked apparently. 

My Zigzag plus and Zillion are both within the effected serial numbers, they are replacements from some which have cracked and were sent back. Not sure that I have much faith in having them replaced. How are they working out the refunds?

It is already for sale on the German Freeworker site.

Cheers mate, Just had a look. Pre order for delivery in end of November. 

I saw somewhere someone posted about a company who was importing them. Can't find it on Instagram now though

Sorry, does anyone know or know where I can find the list of affected serial numbers? 

 

And if my zigzag is within the range of serial numbers how can I get my money back because my has been slipping almost since I bought it.

 

Thanks

So if I order another one within the affected serial number I wonder if I'll be able to get that exchanged when they bring out a revised edition?

What is the alternative that can switch between srt and drt easy in the tree?

I never got my head round srt on tip end jobs, I’m quicker on a double rope. However for access or a dismantle I like srt.

 

mine zz plus has slipped a touch from new, reckon it probably should go back but not till I’ve got something else to climb with, a hitch climber seems like a huge backwards step to me. Does any one in the uk stock the rope runner pro? 

i used to think that, but i find it significantly easier doing reductions on srt. one can rub against and redirect of as many branches as possible and still have a frictionless system. also the ability to drop down and work the crown from the outside 

[Joe Newton]

For me I don't really see the point of srt on dismantles, apart from access perhaps.

 

The beauty of srt for me is easy ascent without spikes and easier work positioning through redirects. 

 

Dismantling the majority of trees is easier on ddrt.

[Will C]

Big connifer and Mac removals I find can be easier srt when there is a lot of up to tip tie and down to cut, a spready oak I do stick to double rope. I have done reductions srt but Im always busy doing what I know to slow down a notch and get my head round something else, I know I should but I just never have done much, maybe I will once I decided what to get to climb on next, reckon the rope runner pro may be the ticket to make me reteach myself srt for reductions.

I've got a ZZ plus in the affected serial no range and it's absolutely fine. There's a specific set of checks to go through in the Petzl press release. I did that, no probs.

Oh ye, so it is. My mistake. Nice one.

 

Just messaged them, gonna collect the full refund hopefully. Always knew something was wrong with the thing.
