What are the best steel and aluminium Krab's or does everyone have there own preferences... i have only ever really used mongoose up until now, spoke to a mate today who said he much prefers dmm and hms are rubbish, mongoose not the best etc etc..

 

any thoughts on this?

 

Also whats the best friction hitch and cord to use with a hitch climber and the best krabs? (coming from using prussik's for sooooo long)

Petzl ball lock fella for me

 

Although also use a isc springlock but will be changing that soon to petzl aswell.

Petzl Am'D for me but I don't have much experience with krabs, to me if it closes it's good. Though I have heard these ones are good with the hitchclimber because they're asymmetrical.

oval krabs for the hitch climber. hitch cord is down to personal preference. i use different cord nearly every week and all have the good and bad points. its boring using the same cord all the time!

just brought 2 of the new NMM Ultra O locksafe for the hitch climber. really nice krabs, nice action, good finish, really pleased with them, even though they were a couple of quid extra than equivilant, i think they were worth it

 

really liked mongoose-still got them for side strop-l like having diffrent krabs for diffrent kit

 

using Ocean Polyester on HitchC at the moment-gets mixed opinions, but i find its really nice to use. got some roblon to try when get round to it, but atm OceanP does it for me
