1. Seeing the others for sale lately has left me feeling guilty about the one I bought that's buried in my gear bag and figure someone else should be putting it to use. It's literally been used for 2 really small climbs, so little that I don't even have an opinion on it. It's just whenever I'm up against a decent sized tree, I'm in production/get it done mode and don't want to waste the time to dial it in and just go for what I know. Anyways, it's in like new condition and comes with box and user manual $350 + shipping.

2. Rope Logic Ultra Sling 5/8" - 7' overall length, this is literally new & unused - SOLD

If interested in either please send me a private message, thanks!

Saddle, rigging, new rope, x rings. Arial friction brake,.... ? Part cash.... More interested in akimbo as I am looking to move to SRT for the the next job of 4 150' spruce for removal.

Kinda want your akimbo. That device looks smooth and I’m changing from DRT to SRT. I was gonna go zigzag with the chicane brake because I can still DRT when I want. Lmk if you still have it and what State ya in

Welcome to TreeBuzz tree_stooge. One of the things you can do on this site is move your cursor over a persons name/picture etc and it opens up a bit more info about them - where they posted they live for instance.

The Akimbo is indeed a smooth and incredible device. You can use it for both SRT and DRT, I switch between the two all the time depending on the needs of the situation.

Did you notice in the Forum, "Stationary Rope System....." that there is a long thread of discussion on the Akimbo? Lots of good info in there.

I will go read into it more. I’m about to get a nice check from huge job in savanna, Georgia before I head back to Florida. I’ve been here for a few weeks now. And I want to update all my gear, etc. I got to try out SRT on rope wrench and hitch pulley but only thing I liked was ascending on it. I’ve used a zigzag before but only for DRT and I thought it ran smooth. I hear good things about Akimbo and now that I know you can DRT on it, I may go that route instead. Also is there a way to private message I can’t figure it out. I clicked on person name but nothing for message

A wrench is a beautiful thing just saying....smooth as silk. After 8 years it is just an old friend. Give it some more time. So many variables to dial things in. 2019-05-25 07.47.07.webp
The above is a shorty @height tether... 11.7 yale rope.... 28"er epicord tied in a michoacan. Smooth as silk for my 185 frame.
