I was wondering if anyone has used this for any of their cabling. It appears that the tensile strength is right there with the 1/4 inch cable. I have a maple at my grandfathers and was wondering if anyone has used this with any amount of success. I am going to be reducing the weight on the one side prior to cabling. It looks like an inexpensive and simple solution. At work we have been using the rig guy wire stops and they have driven me nuts so those are out in my book. I was debating on traditional eye bolts or testing out the branch saver. I have talked with Tom Daley about the product and there is a trial that was talked about where they were installed in a fairly windy area and holding well. Any thoughts or opinions would be great.
 
I use it and love it, quick, easy and did I say inexpensive :)

we had a wind storm a few weeks back, 110 kmh winds, the trees I installed this in held up just fine.
 
Looks good Casey, but be careful how much you pre-tension the stuff, it is designed to be "dynamic", hence move somewhat with the swaying and loading/unloading of limbs.

making it too tight won't allow it to do this :)

Agreed!
Plus:
1. Those are not 'locking brummels'. A locking brummel is tucked thru the standing end, then thru the tail end to 'lock' the eye.
2. It's webbing, not cable.

yes I agree. I was told as locking brummels and used that word. They are just brummels.

Went with cable Norm because it is labled as such on his website.

Yes the pretensioning you have to be careful. But it is easier to get the right tension when going from tight to loose. Just loosen it like shown. I was told no droop in the line by Tom at all gear.
