11mm KMIII worked really well and was consistent. I happened to have it already so that's what i stuck with. If Workpro works well on both Akimbo and RRP I'd be interested in trying it out. I know a lot of folks have had success with Xstatic.
But don't get me wrong I friggen love this thing. I've been climbing on 11mm KMIII for a while because it worked well with the Akimbo but I'm looking forward to going back to a larger line. The tendinitis in my hands isn't getting better with age...
It's happened to me a few times as well. Remember when reassembling to have the carabiner attachment piece oriented so the writing is facing you or the slick pin won't release properly.
It's my only real gripe about this device. The Akimbo is so easy on and off that it became part of my...
The leather part is cinched down with throw line through the holes at the base of the 200t, the metal part is secured with heavy duty zip ties to the lanyard attachment at the back of the saw. I have it all tightened up so it is one with the saw. I always found that rings on lanyards were floppy...
This has worked wonderfully for the last couple of years. Leather tool holster attached to the body of the saw. Goes in and out of the shembiner like a dream.

Couple of things:
1. Your weight isn't a big factor but vectoring a horizontal trackline will generate a tremendous amount of force so avoid dynamic loading of the system.
2. If you opt to go with base anchor, consider opening up the angle from your track line to the base anchor. If there is...
I am one of the others that experienced the same issue...I'm interested in all user input.
There seems to be a thin margin of operation with this device. User weight, rope diameter, rope firmness, rope condition, device settings, device condition, etc, all have huge impacts on the device's...
There's no mob attack campaign here, and there's nothing wrong with voicing concerns about a relatively new product. Look at the Zigzag, it was user concern that brought about change with that device.
Much like certain hitches, the Akimbo needs to be set and adjusted properly to the user's...
Those tests would have already been conducted by Rock Exotica. That is why they listed approved ropes that will interact appropriately with the device.
RRP or Akimbo?
I had the same issue once my Akimbo was worn in. Releases perfectly but there is a lot of floating around when slack is introduced. Still trying to find the right settings to prevent this.
Haha hey man I'll happily pay $500 for a well engineered piece of aluminum kit. But $200 for a bungee in straws? Nah I'll happily use what I have lying around the house to make a simple tool like this.
Glad to see they're opening it up to other distributors. Can't wait to see how much they'll cost in Canada. Now I have to decide what to buy next spring, a RRP or a T540iXP.
