Only time I do it is on a spindly skinny top on a removal, with a less than stellar rope man. I can make the cut hinge at the precise speed I want, and still have time to store the saw and brace myself for whatever goontard is on the rope.
I was distraught when I saw it too Steve, but realized I primarily SRT, and as much as I love Cougar, KMIII Max is now my favorite, and is available at all kinds of retailers. If I need a non KM/Semistatic rope, I'll likely go to a 50-60ft piece of Vortex for something easy on the hands. I dont...
Ugh, if I just didnt have to pay for a great dane to have an x ray and vet visit to reveal 15+ puppies, and buying a new 390XP, id be all over the positioner. Hide it until this friday's pay check ;)
The Yale 11.7s. I have Cougar blue and Puke but I have no issues with the 11.7s and I believe our resident Yale expert @Worthaug said the Cougar lines were modeled after the 11.7s.

Metolius has you covered...
My doctor cleared me for whatever as soon as I felt ready. I specifically asked about sex, as it was about this time of year, 3 years ago, and I had big plans.
Success on all accounts. Just be prepared to be irregular. About once or twice a week outside of the "norm", I can poop through a key...
Swivel is brand new, never used. I don't have the paper work but could maybe scrounge it up at the shop.
If you need the story, I bought a compact BDB, I had a swivel on it. Coworker also wanted a CBDB, and bought this particular swivel to go on it. I sold the bone to him. I already had a nano...
