petzl rope wrench

[judge]

big businesses find it difficult to be creative as there are too many layers in the discussion process, so plagiarism is the cheapest option rather than paying fair dollar

 

[JontreeHI]

This is a bummer

On the positive side, Kevin must really be enjoying all the $ Petzl sent him for stealing his idea?

Rock exotic’s little button thing is patented and they defend it. Did they ever get surveyors blessing on the zig-zag? He was the first to adapt the roller chain idea.

Petzl has been shit and I’ve been saying it for a long time. I still use their vertex I think I have a headlamp made by them. They have botched the industrial market

It looks similar to Fiori's version of the wrench

Can you say Kong?

But what good is that if the zigzag isn't midline attachable?

Switching SRT to DdRT and back while riding the crane ball on removals. Fumbling with the slick pin isn't the worst, but it could be a little faster, and if you drop the pin you've got to have a groundie shuffle through your equipment bin for the spare. Crane costs $150/hr.-ish, so you lose $50.

Btw, I'm not liking this Petzl thing. I think they are "brave" to put it out on the market because they are a big company.

I'm guessing that ISC will not pursue this, elsewise Kevin would have said so.

You know you don't have to take the pin all the way out to get the rope in and out. Problem solved!

Huh? My RW needs the nub pressed in through both plates before it will accept my cougar blue rope. I get that you might be able to leave it barely in the second plate, but that would be precarious, to me - slightest knock and the pin would go flying. What do you do, exactly?

 

[Z'sTrees]

Rotate the pin so the key sits in the little groove and there's enough room to get it out

So that's what that is for... only had it five years now.

 

[treebing]

you've been taking it all the way out this whole time? maybe we should write it on the device somehow.

 

[Erlend]

You should write it! I've also taken the pin out until you showed me last weekend

 

[oldoakman]

Make it symbols somehow Kevin. Reading is just too hard for some.

I bet Petzl wrote it on theirs.

Agree the floppy carabiner connecting them should have been eliminated.
The second hole might be for tending.

Midline attractability of petzl's rope wrench is important to switch from set to ddrt. The only advantage petzl offers is certifications.

I grab the tether on the RW all the time, most of the tethers out there are very grippable, the Petzl tether hand grip design (essentially a handled ascender design) does nothing to improve stationary system climbing ergonomics, handled ascenders are a completely different paradigm, they may be stuck in a time warp.

Interesting, I just haven't used the RW tether that way. Might just give it a whirl.

 

[Brocky]

You have to put the slic pin in the correct way for there to be a notch. If you have been putting it in the opposite way it should be, you would swear there's no notch. Not that this happened to me!

 

[TimberJack]

you can add this to the interesting conversation of intellectual property... big companies not bothering to be creative....

How did you ever get hooked up with ISC in the first place why are they not producing the rope runner?
