Better of buying some beeline cord and tieing your own with à fishamans knot,

This will sound silly most likely but hey ho!

 

Can you use a prussik loop on a hitchclimber though? Or ideally a E2E?

[Rich Rule]

You wont be tieing it in an endless loop, unless you choose to.

 

You can tie a fishermans knot in each end making a piece of cord that has the same functionality as an E2E but is also adjustable and saves the pounds aswell.

So you buy them off Ebay and use them but then some anonomous poster says they are shite and your like oh noes ?

Use you heads FFS.

If they are Central Services, judging from the work I have seen done by him, and the work he sells on Ebay I would climb on his splices. They look professionally done from what I can tell.

I would obvivously conduct a first hand inspection, but If I had to order an Eye to Eye I would try one of those based simply on their appearance, and seeing his/her/their work here on AB before.

If you are worried about it ccontact the seller, ask for references to satisfied customers, experience level spliceing etc etc... if you get answers that make you feel good, then go with it, if not, go with an eye to eye from one of the reputable dealers.

But me Ive checked out the central-services-user_id, they look good to me,I would trust them.

Yes centrals splices are good. But there is plenty of top splicers on here who would appreciate the business. Just look at some of the works in the splicing threads and pm someone.

Does anyone even know if Marlowe viper is suitable for that category of splice? I only know that beeline and hrc is for sure.

If happily give work to a forum member instead if references and experience were satisfactory. Who does it?
