Dogbone rope wrench

[Bing!]

I should make it clear... The OAR in the pic is on Ddrt, and works a treat.

Where did you get the shackle on the bottom of it?

[Paul Smith]

Dan, it looks like a twisted clevis from a chandlers.

[Bing!]

Yes Paul, it is a pretty standard twisted clevis/shackle, 6mm, found easily online or your local (?) chandlers.

I found the twisted version allowed everything to sit a bit more natural.

Well I have one to try.

Whats the rubber roller thing for mate if im seeing it correctly?

 

It's a piece of rubber inner tube, it's not set up properly in that picture.

 

Gordon is sending me a new smaller roller as my favored rope, Tachyon, seemed to be a little fat for the device to work properly, too much friction.

 

On the ZK1 I have the bottom pin set wide and that works very well and smoothly so I'm hoping the new roller will improve things, it's a nicely made device and I'm looking forward to having a proper climb on it.
