Hi Guys,
I have over five years of intermittent use on my two Rollgliss modded units now, with many dozens of climbs. I LOVE these things. I tear them down about once a year to check out internal wear, re-grease the gears, etc. They are holding up very well and still look great inside, gear teeth in fine shape. Most climbs I don't use them, since I need the exercise of rec climbing manually, but these things are great if going up with a chainsaw to work on my own trees, or for building a tree house a few years ago where I had to go up and down constantly. Having two units has been useful if someone was working with me or if I wanted to use the second unit as a winch to lift material. I invited an elderly friend to climb with me once, who could not have climbed unless power assisted. He had a wonderful time.
