New pulley saver

[GARY]

Hey guys and girls I've bin thinking about getting a pulley saver and seen that there's a new one out. I've seen a pic of it on honey brothers and it looks like they removed the retrieval clip. So was wondering has anyone got one and have they removed it?

the clip has been removed on the pulley saver and replaced by one that's on a prussik

I put a thimble on my old pulley saver

I'm glad they got rid of that ice axe clip and replaced it with something a little more appropriate. What I cannot understand is why they removed the greatest feature - the large ball bearing pulley and replaced it with a small pulley without a bearing??

good point that one Marc, I too prefer the bearings over the bushes. flows much better and work more efficiently.

 

the only reason i can think is that it is easier to retrieve when you have installed the EQUALIZA for sharing your loads over two anchor points

Cost perhaps...

Maybe, probably, Stuart raises a good point. I just always felt the Rig was its biggest selling point. It would not be difficult to replace the bushed pulley with a Rig.
