I think you need to stop comparing one companies business practices with another. Just accept that what Petzl does is what Petzl does.

Anything you have modified is food for greasy lawyers. The court will decide based upon the evidence provided and the burden of proof would be on you to demonstrate that the rope you used was as suitable as the one the manufacturer provided. That's going to take some doing. And the bit in bold is putting words in my mouth and you need to stop doing that. I said nothing of the kind and throwing words like illegal and suicidal in is just unnecessary emotive rhetoric.

Don't do it, he will have the franchise police down on you, the seller will get banned and you will go to prison........... Forever

Absolutely, I have run my Grillon with all sorts of rope but I did so knowing that if it went wrong I would have no come back on the manufacturer because I was using the device outside its CE mark.

Definitely not when the highways agency get their tape measure out and charge for damage to the road surface:001_rolleyes: Not like they would struggle to find where you went.

WTF? Just in from the pub perhaps?
-
Its a Petzl thing, its what they do. As a business decision it makes sense to have the device and rope as a unit. It takes the variation an inappropriate rope would bring, out of the equation.
-
Any detail on that?
-
What make and model is it
-
The Zillon is CE marked as an assembly so must be used and sold with the rope approved by the manufacturer. Petzl did exactly the same thing with the Grillon

The no stress device is better called a speed control device. It monitors the speed of the flywheel, often with a dedicated monitoring device or some monitor the electrical out put from the alternator. When the flywheel speed drops below a set value the device triggers a hydraulic solenoid valve that stops the feed rollers. This takes the load off the engine and allows the flywheel speed to pick up again. Once the flywheel speed increases above the specified value the device resets the hydraulics to normal function

Perhaps but while you can give quarter, life is harsh and wont give any quarter. A good and fair warning about the facts is valuable input IMO

For the everyday use you will see no benefit for the effort and expense

I would go bre and black grape with fresh filter coffee courtesy of my jet boil. And the rate would be a shade under the £200:laugh1:

The abysmal judgement is solely on you.

That saw falling into the distance looks really professional. Making money doesn't make you professional. There are plenty of others out there that could buy and sell your outfit and work to the highest standards without making "yee Haaa" vanity project videos of their antics for the internet. -
Loler as a whole does help people but it covers a huge amount of ground so when you apply it to a splice which is a tiny area of a minority industry it seems unwieldy. The people it helps are the ones who are employed where they might be pressured into using kit that isn't up to standard.

If this were some random video on the net rather than a news report the comments would be completely different.

Getting the vinyl off is easy just hat and peel, getting the adhesive off is difficult, by nature it bonds with the paint or lacquer and is difficult to shift. The worst part is the UV fading to the remainder of the paint, that and the adhesive residue leaves a shadow where the vinyl was. You can buff it out but sometimes it just wont go away.

Its a Poplar, harder to kill than a cockroach. If its in good health you could knock it back to a pole in the middle of summer and it wouldn't die. It would be wise to let your client know that the tree will need maintenance pruning in the future.
