Has anyone used a Petzl Swivel?

Joe, you mean like the one on my platform strop?

 

I'd like to give a swivel a go, i think it'd be useful just they are quite pricey, not that that usually puts me off

Re splice my scorch for me jamie and ill send it with a small petzl swivel???

[Rich Rule]

Tryed it again today for anchoring off the bridge of my harness is it just me or does any one else get massive rope twist??it evan jams up my hitch climber the twist is so bad!

 

ditto... i have been getting a large amount of rope twist recently. Come to think of it, it has increased since I started using the large swivel. Might change back and compare the difference...

I took mine off today...like i said it was so bad it jammed the hitch climber every time i descended,did it one more time on the first descent to break so took it off and was fine for the rest of the day.

its similar to that but the swivel on the bottom is more fitted to it then that. it was from global sales in Birmingham (http://www.getitatglobal.co.uk) and was just under £20 and i think that it is the same make as the one in the photo that i put on.

Satanic spinning rope twisters.

the one i was on about is the one in the middle of the top row.

Is there much differance between the Petzl and the cheeper Camp swivels.

 

Do the guys that have the tree motion put the swivle on the bridge or connect it with a biner and do you keep or remove the ring that comes on the bridge?

technically speaking there are 2 in the middle of the top row. Think about it!
