Can't beat the locking DMM vault IMO, it's handy being able to lock it when you know you're going to be scrambling round in some conifer and you don't want to be clipping yourself into branches every 2 minutes.

Still using the aluminium spring gate biner I bought for £7 years ago, works for me. I think bigger and it would snag more in conifers etc so never really felt the urge to upgrade.

That looks good for slinging a big saw by the handle.

I use a large caritool with the gate removed for this, with my Vault on the other side.

This is what I use, however I've had to grind the nose off the end as it catches the saw in certain positions

I’ve always thought they Look dangerous mate , at least with the petzl caritool if you have a rigging line brush past you and it snags it breaks… I used to climb with a open metal hook until one I had rigging line do that with a large section and they had too lower that out with it still attached and pulling me off the limb luckily being doubled tied it didn’t do much but if it had been a larger top it could of been nasty, I think I’ve actually had that happen maybe 2 times 😆Bearing in mind if you rig in conditions where you’re pushed and confined and using a crane point to get material in to a DZ like say on a limb removal or reduction it’s quite a likely scenario as positioning can be tricky and that’s usually when you need to lower stuff out. 
I used to break caritools regular but it’s very rare now and it’s piece of mind for not a nice experience.

Good point mate!
