Rope wrench

[Scott Walker]

Evening all, I have a rope wrench zk1 which I bought, then about a month later the zk2 come out:rolleyes:, my question is how much difference is there between the two? Would it be worth me upgrading to the zk2?

I manly use srt to access big trees and to do big reductions.

Cheers fellas.

I still only have an zk1 and use it all the time, haven't extensively used the zk2 so can't compare very well but. From my brief use of one it feels refined and smooth.

 

My theory is if its not broken don't fix it but its up to you and your £££

Makes sense its still working doing its job so I think I may as well stick with it.

I personally hated the zk1 don't ask me why because the only thing I can think of is just how wide it is, the zk2 is more streamline a lot lighter and smaller and I love it to bits, it's just sexy when you look at it from an engineering point of view.

 

Well worth a try obviously if you can without buying one but well worth the investment when you feel the need to change over. For what it cost also I don't care if it ain't broken the zk1 is pants compared to the zk2

I have had both and I definately prefer mk2. Slicker, smoother, smaller, and its RED! You can always try and sell your mk1, or use it as a paper weight!

I sold mine when I go the Zk2. Got 40 quid for it. Why not keep it and use it for a base rescue system?

For £90.00 I guess it would me worth me buying it if its that much better. I'll just keep the zk1 as a spare or pass it on to someone who wants to try srt.

I sent mine to Giorgio in Italy... he prefers his own homemade device over the mk1!

The ZK2 is so much more compact and does the job better IMO, but the pin is more fiddly.

I liked my big slik-pin I had in the ZK1.

 

Worth upgrading for me.

Mark I think the pin fits the new one aswell?
