Rope Wrench feedback

Thanks for sharing. The other pin is much less snag prone. Stiff tether and corner trap resolves that issue as well.

 

Yes that's what I thought and I'll be trying it next time out. Except the corner trap, I don't see how that would make any difference as the fisherman's are tight on top of the Ultra O.

My 'event' today occurred because I didn't tend the hitch and RW, this allowed the RW to swing round the other side and the tether caught on the pin. Totally my error. I would be seriously injured or dead if I had been in a more open tree!

Anyway, I didn't die and the Wrench is still the love of my life.

the corner trap is only for use with the stiff tether. It should be available with the Stiff tethers. If not using a stiff tether its not going to do anything for you but I have been finding that using a stiff tether with a fixe pully and the new wrench really improves your situation quite a bit.

Ok but I don't see a corner trap in your photos on the previous page. Can you explain please.

I had assumed Kevin was referring to the L-shaped piece of metal attached to the end of the wrench (in his photos). I would expect that it stops the stiff tether from getting close to the "head" of the device (as per your photo).

 

But I may be wrong!

Yes that corner trap helps it from ever falling into neutral position

Oh I see. I was thinking of the kind of corner trap for a karabiner.
