Securing Carabiner & Ropes

[samarb]

I'm looking to secure a carabiner in one place on my rope to make sure i stays in place when assending and am also looking to secure my pully line bit closer to my friction hitch to make it smoother any one used a Band-It tool to solve these problems and if so how did you get on with them?

 

Cheers

If you're removing and replacing the BandIts they are expensive (for all that they are). Instead I buy the Elastic bands for docking lambs' tails - a big bag of 100 is only a few pounds.

I'll second that. The little lamb rings are great.

Ditto whats been said already, Dont bother with little things honeys sell, Beal stop or something. Got one through with something a while ago, broke before it was even put on the biner. I just get some rubber piping from a local hardware store, does the trick

I'm Irish, Bob - Irish.

 

But Scottish is good (and near) enough.

 

Stevie, he doesn't know what he's missing, does he?

Managed to get a hand full of docking bands from local agri shop and has seem to do the trick of holding the split-tail in place, thanks guys for saving me money by not getting the band-it tool.
