Rope Wrench - Hitch/Rope compendium.

You can go shorter with the legs when tying the eyes by replacing the pulley with a plastic 1/2” thimble and a small cord with eyes.

Cut a little off the thimble, like the black one below, to make it easier to slip on the rope midline. The cord can be configured a couple different ways.

First let me say that you are a genuine lunatic Brocky. That was a compliment in case you're wondering!

I like my setup to inhale slack and getting my legs too short can have a negative effect on how easily slack is falls through my system. I have found that a 22"-23" prussic on 11mm-11.7mm to be just right for my needs.

Alway appreciate your input and ideas though...

I just picked up a 28" 8 mm epi in a silent auction package. I have used it a few times with the wrench and as a secondary MRS system...still a bit stiff. Hopefully it loosens up a bit. Very hard to beat the HRC me thinks...:birra:

Just don’t call me a “stable genius, please”!

Too short of legs when used with the rigid side plates of the pulley cause the wraps to be constantly tensioned. With the thimble, the Michoacán legs only have to be long enough to bring together in front for clipping, without tightening the wraps too much.
The thimble pushes up on the entire bottom of the hitch, instead of just on each side with the pulley. There is also less sit back with the shorter legs.
Ok sales pitch is over, how many can I put down for?

Talked me into it then. I'll procure a plastic thimble and play around with it. I do love the minimalistic vib of it!

Brilliant stuff, Brocky. This is like watching Star Trek. "Where no man has gone before."
