steel and ali arnt ideal together

not on rigging gear no, but this aint going to be working that hard, and it doesnt slide or twist about in the eyes, the pinto has a thick area where this sits and into the red isc its locked tight and sweet in the eye all fits like a glove.

I can see where you are coming from on that Hama, but the steel will eat chunks in the Ali. The best option would be a little cutaway sling, it would sit a bit lower but would be a lot less harmful to your shiny pinto!

mmmmm, shall try again!

try a small snap revolver in the becket not sure if youve been over it but its a good option on the pulley saver the revolver will retrieve too so no need to go take it out

ive not read the thread to well and im only assuming here but im guessing you are discussing a 3-1 from you anchor. on the becket of the pinto on the pulley saver you can place a small snap gate revolver and clip the tail through that you can use it to as low as you need in the tree rope length obviously being a factor then when your done you can pull the tail through leaving the pinto sat on the becket. as long as you have set the saver up well enough so its not cinched up tight to the stem when you retrieve as normal the revolver will come out with the pulley through the splice. i hope it helps
