I'll be sure my coworker keeps him in line and on the right path. Should be a snap tending to his future. Any more really bad puns I missed?

I once had the great fortune of having to instruct new hires in very basic aerial rescue for a major line clearance company. One poor soul was extremely acrophobic. 7 feet off the ground he started chanting "Oh, God! Oh, God!"....the dummy was a mere 20' off the ground. The moment when he took one hand off his own line to grapple with the dummy, I'm pretty sure he peed a little.....thankfully non got on the rope.

#2 brass snap, about $3, works on my two lanyards, 10 mm ocean poly and vortex.

I agree. I found the brass snaps to be great because they are mid line attachable as well. I have some shizzles. They are awesome as well, but I had a lanyard made with a sewn eyes and it was too large to fit through the shizzle holes. Brass snaps work great on a hitch.
 
Poor zillion. Petzl doesn't seem to be having the best of luck with their mechanical products even though I head they are silky smooth. Lets see if any more pop up with time.

Observation: The Petzl adjust cordage does not come with the sewn eyes covered with shrink tube leaving the stitching exposed. Seems like a no trainer. I was visiting Wesspur last week in Washington State and talked with their splicer as he was sewing eyes. He mentioned the most expensive part of that process was the cost of the clear adheisive shrink tube they use to cover the sewing.
I suspect Petzl has some bean counter figuring out how to shave pennys off the cost of production to get profits up and stock prices higher. Look at the foot ascender etc, everything is going to minimums.

Well that sucks. Too poor to afford to put shrink wrap on a sewn splice, a life support device. Maybe it's time for them to get out of the business.
 
I have a Zillion and it is super smooth. Yes the open stiching is ridiculous, but the first thing I did was cut the eye off and tie a 3 move snap on the end so that was never an issue for mine.
