  13. Hey everyone! Been thicking about getting a wire flip line, it's bin a good few years since I've used one. I don't like using the rope grab so going to stick with a hitch. So my question is could you add a pulley like you would with a rope lanyard or is the wire to stiff for a pulley to work efficiently?? Gary.
  14. 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?

Hey everyone i needs some advice i want to get a static line for footlocking. i like the look of the celock (globe 5000) any faults? also i got myself a rope wrench and ive only used it a few times on my 13 mm new england hi-vee. is there much difference between using a static line and the standered climbing line. i work with some old school guys who have no intrest in srt or even hitch climbing set ups. its pursuk and body thrust all day as im the yongest it there way as they say they been there done it. it gets realy disharting when they just dismiss new things in the industrey anyways sorry about the rant. gary.
