What's your intended use? The WLL looks pretty low with these.
24 kn, wll of 4kn represents a 6/1 safety factor. I was thinking of using it on my positioning lanyard. Hitchclimber and cmi double/triple pulleys come in at 30 kn, Stein skywalker is 24kn. Seems like things might get a little sloppy with the one large attachment hole.

Ok, I missed the 24kn MBS part.

The side plates and angles on it don't seem super textile friendly if it's not being using in like a straight plain if you know what I mean. Like if a rope was running on the cheeks it looks no bueno

I've had my hands on one, they are very rope friendly with rounded edges. They are designed as a prussic minding pulleys and would work well for your lanyard.
Thanks, I think I'll order one and give it a try.

If you're only looking for a lanyard slack tender this is what I've usedhttps://www.google.com/search?q=dog...gC&biw=568&bih=232&dpr=2#imgrc=a1CoCqczPthbsM:
Clip the swivel eye to your biner and the rope goes
Through the lobster claw
It's cheap and eliminates the fumblies. The slack
Tending action is smoother because there aren't any links

I like the simplicity of that. I thought this Camp pulley would be nice for clipping back into hitchclimber style when using my long lanyard on my bridge. I'm currently using a pinto, and don't really care for how things line up when clipped into the rated becket.
View media item 679View media item 678View media item 677 Got my hands on this pulley today. Haven't put it to use but am satisfied so far. Nice rounded edges, attachment of the second carabiner is a little tight with the hitch cord legs falling where they do. Probably wouldn't work well with knotted cordage. The pulley sheave is probably a third larger than comparably sized pulleys.

Bingo. That large attachment hole is really awkward with eye-to-eye cords, at least w/ spliced eyes on 8mm OP. The hole "eats" half the eye, and the whole thing ends up binding in weird ways - at least in my few hours experience today.
I picked one up for a few reasons...
1) I'm a rec climber who climbs on RADS most of the time, and have beat the holy snot out of the Petzl oscillante on my hand ascender. It still works fine, but has loosened up quite a bit and I'm sure its days are numbered. The Tethys seemed like a nice step up from the cheaper "rescue" pulleys (It is!).
2) The pro version has ball bearings and published efficiency ratings, which isn't too common at this price.
3) Was hoping that it might work as an entry-level Hitch Climber-ish stand-in, with that double carabiner attachment... maybe? Nope!
I can't imagine anyone getting an eye-to-eye working well with two attachments. Even with smaller aluminum ovals, it bound up solid as forces shifted around. Even for simple lanyard adjustment with a single attachment, I think the dirt-cheap Oscillante works better.
It's a really nice high quality pulley - CAMP advertises it as a Prusik minding pulley, but they gotta mean it in a very different progress-capture prusik on a hauling system kindof way.
