Tip tie rigging with the x rigging rings.

I love my Pinto RIG

[Paul Smith]

Treekit are selling David's X rings. They are by the way excellent!

[JaySmith]

Depends how big the stem is! Block for me on big wood EVERY time!

 

I'm talking stems of say 30 - 36 inch plus. Big blocks can be a faff go keep moving down and re-tieing, so I was thinking something like Rich's x rig with the whoppie could be useful and save a bit of time. I've never used these ring things so all I know is either swing checks for light stuff or large impact blocks for big chogging.

Surely you can glaze/burn out the rope using the x rings. I'm struggling to see what benefit they have over a pulley block

I'd imagine lighter, cheaper and easier to set up.

Not at all, less friction than a bollard or porta wrap.

 

I really can't see what people have a problem with.

I would not have a problem ringging stems down of that size on them.

Have you had one in your hand?

They have a sort of ceramic feel! Extremely smooth

 

Can use with a pulley block as anchor point then craning point with a x ring which works well because it can be moved and carried much easier
