Hello all , purchased the said item above last week and i just got a chance there to try it out . Well imo it is unfit for purpose as a work positioning lanyard . The distel will not bite the lanyard .. it does EVENTUALLY and only when the lanyard is near horizontal . It is actually dangerous imo .

 

It does say in the small print in the manual only to be used at WAIST HEIGHT ! Are they for real ?? Cant remember any vendors pointing this out ?

 

Its a costly piece of CARP !! Dont buy one at all costs :thumbdown::thumbdown:

 

can i suggest you go & practice some more & get to know the set up ,then come back to us wi some positive fdbk :biggrin:

I've been using one for three months now and can't fault it, it does slip sometimes but a quick jerk makes it bite. It's quick and easy to use and the thimble attachment allows greater anchorage and freedom. Hoping they bring out a longer version.

Unless I'm being thick, Isn't it just a Lanyard system that is sold as a complete system? Is there something that I'm missing?:confused1:

Like any bit of new gear have a good muck around with it , sort out what's purpose it will play in your overall setup. straight out of the package and up the tree, maybe not the go. A full understanding of your gear is all apart of a complete climbing arborist.

i would think, yes that dangerous for me, the ce would be for a layard from the side d's where they are not desgined to be used for supension, therfore lanyard not to be used above waist.

this is a clear problem with trying to define and standardize hitches though. In my opinion no two hitches are alike. The CE lanyard is no longer a CE lanyard once its been tweaked correct?

 

That's a good question.
