    Yeah a rolling drum, i bought it for a job but use it a lot in reality these days. Just saves the old back muscles. It pretensions extremely well but if you only need to do one bit it is overkill.

    Na the protable powered winch with the 5.5hp honda engine. It runs at something like 1000 times faster and i get it out at any excuse.
  9. Ian Flatters
    haha, not a clue, i mainly use the pwered winch these days if tension is required.

    If you add a prussik loop they can be.

    looked at the aztec block? can do a few more things.
  13. Ian Flatters
    Looks more like a 3.25m reduction to me adam.
  14. Ian Flatters
    Yeah but i bent the stein one pretty easily about a year ago. Its good for ease of tension because one side is open. But like the post before said there are other bits on the market.
  15. Ian Flatters
    Its an easier way to attach too rather than the need to tie a alpine and a steel crab or malion.

    Felling some conifers down hill. The wind took one tree nearly 45 degrees off course and smashed a bit of railing up but i fixed it with some new bit and only cost £30.00

    More like shot down planes with mine

    So, I've given it a good bash recently and think its really good. Ive also looked at ways to make it a safer system, like terminating the friction cord (with enough slack between that and the dogbone for it to still function normally) at the steel crab, which in theory makes it exactly like a RW if failure occurs and a uni if you run a klemheist above it and the legs through the top eye and into the crab below. So im really impressed with the responsive movement from touching the hitch, makes the rw look like pulling a prussik. havent setup a decent chest attachment yet so can reall compare it to the uni but i still think ascent it will be hard to beat it. So i think its a hell of a lot better than the rw and much more responsive, better on branch walks and really compact. runs a treat on cougar blue too.
