rope wrench ZK-1

[Dilz]

all food for thought, would it work with a device such as the lock jack? i can see it having its advantages, how much do these bits of kit cost?

[Dilz]

i'd also like to see someone carry out a full reduction on a big oak or some such jus to see how they work it using this system.

hmm still looks like a pain for body thrusting or m i missing somthing?

[Cary Gibson]

you can body thrust, but you had better have some guns...

(which I do ) but most of the time, clip in the pantin and go

 

coming in from limbwalks is easy though.

advancing line is the same as anything else. I use the wrench setup like a throw weight and throw a large bight over the next crotch to advance. I dont pull my tail throught the croth until I get to my ultimate destination. The wrench and hiotch never have to come off the line.

hmmmm....its cheaper than a spiderjack.......i'm tempted, going to show it a rope access nut who cant resist shiny new toys, will get him to buy one and then try it out i know a couple of trees i have done recently that this would have been perfect for.

Rope access nuts should comply with IRATA. Not sure how a Rope Wrench would be viewed?
