Lloyd, you are a star 👍

 

Reg, great vid! Is there an advantage using the ring thing instead of a pulley? I'd have thought it'd have just worn your rope quicker?

Cheers Benn. What's the advantage over a pulley or is it just something new and different? I suppose Reg was doing the vid to show kit being used for treestuff, the Arb trolley looked great!!

I don't think they are going to replace a block and sling any time soon....but they are a good choice of alternative. Obviously they are not gonna be as efficient for raising limbs etc, they are not mid-line attachable, and unlike a block they heat up.

 

Apart from that they are relatively cheap, lightweight but strong as hell; totally secure as there's no gate or other means of opening, and as said earlier very low friction. They can be purchased in a range of sizes and configurations, rated and stamped. That particular configuration by ABR consists of a small and large ring, so can be installed and retrieved from the ground much like a regular climbing friction saver.
