Didn't piss me off. I know where you stand on it. I'm cool with that. Your certainly entitled to feel how you feel. I have no hard feelings.

What Tuttle is saying is that with the Lockjack, slack tending is effortless or nonexistent because of how rope just drops through the device unlike the Zig Zag or climbing with a hitch. The Lockjack isn't new but it certainly is revolutionary and in my opinion underutilized.

Ryan and Tuttle. I believe you to be incorrect on slack tending on the zigzag. After about 10' off the ground I'd never touch my ZZ again on ascent and it had no sit back. Never climbed on a spider or lock jack but I can tell you when climbing srt,and some ddrt with the zigzag there is no need to tend slack.

It must depend on the rope on whether the zigzag selfs tends.

Tuttle, you act like that thing is a new innovation. Its been around so long it is almost an antique (relatively speaking) http://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/lock-jack-sport.3248/
The zz self feeds unless you get a bend above it just like the lj, is cheaper and doesn't need to have replacement parts periodically.

I'm just talking about what I do and what I see, I use a lockjack, my work colleague uses a zigzag.
I see the difference everyday.

Guess I'd have to climb in a lock jack because the zigzag is the bomb for me.

It takes a lot more to get to grips with, esp on descents, best to start off with the rope over the branch, then a normal cambium saver, before you break out the pulley saver.
