You misread my post mate. I bought one early last year and really rate it highly. The Pulleysaver is 1st class!

I used it today doing a reduction on a Yew tree with my LJ. I still use DRT on very small trees as setting up the gear is faster.

Prussick to mechanical prussick......and then to Wrench. it is logical progression:biggrin:

Yeah I guess so. I climbed on a Prussik first, then a LJ for eight years.

Since getting my RW in February I still really miss the self tailing that the LJ (& SJ) is so good at, although not enough to stop SRTing.

Moving up and down a rope in Arboriulture is evolving fast especially in the last few years....it,s great!

Get the long pulleysaver the extra length can come in handy when dealing with large diameter stems whilst doing removals

+1 on the pulley saver! Why have less friction from the roka when you can have no friction? Also you can't choke the roka on a stem, you can only have it round a fork which is a bit limiting.

No offence but I don't get why people ask what something is like AFTER they buy it!

Its a step up from a bog standard cambium saver at least

 

Impulse buyer .. I'll run it by you first Alex in future .

The pulleysaver isn't all its cracked up to be, i had one used it a couple of times and sold it. The little retrieval clip rode up into the pulley one to many times. I reckon the ART rope guide is a much better tool and when used with a double snapper to retrieve it, just amazing. Or like its been said SRT all the way ;D

TBH i do like the look of the rope guide over the pulley saver . Looks stronger engineered . Cant get my head round a little ally pulley coming crashing down out of a canopy and remaining sound , hence why i thought the roka might be better despite the obvious friction loss . Its getting sent back anyway my order has been totally mucked up
