Rope Wrench feedback

Its true I cant take credit for the idea. But at least I have a rope wrench to test it out with haha. I sort of tested it yesterday evening about 2m off the ground on a small birch outside the house. Seems like it will work well as long as the last braid of the hitch is between the turnbuckle and my line so it doesnt rub. But when ive got the length sorted I can heat shrink it:thumbup1:

I have this as my thether also i set it up using an isc fixed cheeck pulley inbetween the cheeks, ben does the same you have to tie the Vt so the turnbuckle doesnt rub agaisnt the rope, if using a Hc the hole is big enough to fit a krab through if you use a cornertrap it wil l keep it fairly rigid.

So I did what I always said I wouldnt do today.. used the wrench on a big lemon scented gum weight reduction. Was really awkward because for a lot of branches there is nowhere to redirect the line above and when coming back in if you dont keep most of your weight on your line its easy to snap off whole limbs.. Anyway, it would have been easier DDrt but at least it was some practice and it meant i could drop down on top of an alder that needed deadwooding at the end of the job. The solid turnbuckle tether works really well and stops the wrench twisting around behind. No smashed face either :)
