I find it ok...mind you its only for position, moving round on any length of line probably would be twitchy no doubt

 

Its also not rated for use in a single line application, whereas the cinch is.

i use a hc on my lanyard, not the cheapest but cheaper than a cinch and it does all of the above. i also use it in a second climbing line application and is just such a good tool the more i use it on the lanyard the more i like it. i used a small 6mm prussic on my lanyard for a while but moved away because i didnt get on with it to well but with the hc there its brilliant. i have the second climbing line to use to.

 

i must admit i do have to consciously remind myself it is there when positioning but now its becoming second nature and i find getting work positions to be really easy and have alot more choice than what i had before.

petzl GriGri is the daddy for this job climb up and down on it releases under tension etc and not to expensive

[Peter]

Bit bulky though.

[Rupe]

The cinch is mostly just a smaller grig gri but it releases much better.
