Anyone using a klimair for there flipline? And do they like it? I use a 2-1 lanyard and wanna try it because ive been having problems with my hip prusik slipping(I dont like slipping!!!) I use rope and steel core depending on removal or trimming, I figure it should work on both!?!
Klimair?

maybe try a different cord, or dress your prussic different. maybe add an extra wrap on it.

Im geussing its so he can choke the spar OR it could be to add a double rope walker....
Im adding one too...not because I know what it is for, but because I dont want to be left out.

My guess is... one is for an SRT lanyard and the other is to hang the tail of it on his saddle.

sounds good boogie, gimme a call and we'll figure it out bud, names shawn
I'm with banjo I think its for srt with lanyard so it doesn't side load the snap incorrectly by choking it on itself???????
I am curious like Boogie. I have been thinking about trying out on acender on my lanyard. I use two in one, so you think the kilmair looks like it would work good, but if it doesn't I would think go with a gibbs. Does any one have good input on it?

I wouldn't say it takes two hands to use, not on the release, anyway. It does, however, require that you position it, and hold it on center while your flipline is adjusted through.
If you're used to just pulling the tail through, forget it. This is where you use one hand to center the rocking cam, and the other to pull your flipline through.
I used mine for about 6 months, then had to bail on it. I kept looking for something I was missing. This piece has it's place in arboriclture, I'm fairly certain, but not on a flipline. A flipline is one-way lock, the other way release. There is no need to be clamping the flipline going both directions
Looks like I beat the tarnations out of it, but that's kinda normal for gear pieces. I do remember liking the swivel aspect of it.

Standard issue. You may have to pay more for the high-tech wire keeper to prevent the biner from flipping around (necessary and useful, all joking aside).
