Did it look smaller in the picture when you ordered it?

 

You'll have to set a block first to get a hauling line to bring that up the tree!

Can anyone that has used rigging rings tell me the pro's and con's please? We have some rattling around in the truck rigging locker but have never used them.

It depends on the thickness of your rope but you may have to spit on it first and then guide it in with your thumb.

They’re just nice. Lighter than pulleys. Nothing ever runs over a  sharp pulley cheek. The little bit of extra friction stops your rigging line shooting up to the top of the tree if you drop it. I almost always use a pulley on my main anchor and a ring on a redirect over a favourable drop zone. Having the pulley first in line probably makes lifting with the Hobbs easier but I don’t know how much it really matters. Two rings would probably work fine too. They’re a lovely sweet spot of friction for most tree things.
