THis tool pushes innovation frontiers. The clutter of multiple bridge connectors just got streamlined. Very nice!

Have you seen my bridge swivel yet? I thought I did good

Actually, to slim mine down even more, someone would have to come up with the holy grail.

We have a swivel-carabiner (Swiva-eye), we have a carabiner-pully (revolver, rollclip Z). But who is going to be the first manufacturer to come up with the Swivel-Pulley-Carabiner?!?!

I'd buy one!
But that's just me I'm still climbing-in-a-loop so I need (or prefer) a pulley on my bridge.

I liked to see a slimmed down, one eyed Hydra swivel for my bridge.

I think they call that a rock exotica omni mini

One hardware item in the picture is configured incorrectly. Hint: It's not the swivel.

The eyes of the cord are inside the red pinto instead of outside?

I like my HH to be tailing from the other side.

Fair points, but I much prefer a wire gate because they are better at twist-off tool removal and the RE transporter kind of sucks at that. Bigger is not better for me in this location on the harness.

If you open the gate on the transporter and push the lock down into the “locked” position while keeping the gate open it sets it up such that the gate can’t close all the way. In this configuration it’s perfect for twisting gear off one handed, and the rigid loop on the back of the husky battery saw is perfect for one handed on and off the clip. I absolutely love it. The saw does tend to fall out if you go upside down, but all you have to do is lock it for reals before any such acrobatics. I use a transporter on my right side and a dmm vault on my left. I find the transporter is much better at one handing saws/gear in out but the dmm is deeper and easier to stuff with lots of gear without interfering with the gate opening.
I’ve also heard of people cutting off the “wings” on the locking slider to make twisting biners off even easier.
