which spider jack

[Johny Walker]

No. I bought mine with Velcro then bought the dyneema kit to change it over. Only one screw on the side.

 

how would you rate them side by side

If you are close to a fair size branch say 6"+ with the Velcro the rope would force its way out the Velcro. With the dyneema it just moved the carabiner. And if the branch was big enough, the rope wouldn't feed into the sj properly and it would slip. That can still happen but it's very difficult to do so.

 

Changeovers are easy. One carabiner for your splice. Held upright by the rubber grommet on the dyneema so always ready to go.

i use the dynema kit only tried the velcro once and it seems fiddely and i dont think it would last 5 mins! also its lots easier and quicker to clip into a crab on the dynema. i use a petzl cambium saver at the moment. and as for rope i tried 13 mm but it wouldnt self tend at all so i swapped to 11.5mm tachyon and it runs through like a dream well worth the money

[arbmansam]

Ohh right that actually sounds alot better for my money wot does loctite do
