Teufelberger CE lanyard - Im struggling with it

[John Shutler]

What you trying to imply ??

 

im not implying anything, im stating that it seems ok in the video

 

its used in various configurations, at a variety of angles and seems to function pretty well

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:

 

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

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.

Longer than 10metres?? might as well use a second system.

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?

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?

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.

That's a good question.
