I got my Uni from Tom. Great service and product!! Even though I use it 95% DdRT, and am just experimenting with SRT, I cant even imagine being without it on the job!!!

I own a Unicender, and am wonder WHAT could be made smaller that could still perform well. Ed, what do you know that the rest of us seem to be missing?
There doesn't appear to be many places that the aluminum could be whittled away and still be safe for use, especially when considering a shockload.

I found it kind of "looks" bulkier than it is.
What i mean is, pick it up of the shelf & hold it in your hand & it seems like a big clunky contraption, but put it on a line and go climbing and it really does a perfect job & the "bulk" doesn't seem to come into it.
I think i'm probably the first in Australia rocking one though, and i haven't put a stack of vertical miles on it yet, but am very happy so far.

Dang it! It totally forgot to get mine from Tom.
Sorry Tom. I sold that Boxer and was itching to buy a Uni. I got mine from Wesspur.
FWIW. I gave my Uni a test run (low and slow).
I think I'm really going to like this jobber.
The only thing I want to see is load rating on the device itself. Sure the specs are in the owner's manual, but it needs to be on the device. Doesn't this mean that I can't use this in a comp?
The specs are on this link.

I don't know of a TCC requirement for labeling. There are few hard tools and even fewer rope/webbing tools that are labeled.
There is a You Tube vid of a rock drop test that Morgan did...and it is IMPRESSIVE! It's likely on his website.

I ordered a Uniscender yesterday from Wesspur. I'm looking forward to using it.
I have since found some videos on Youtube by searching "Uniscender."
Here is a short video of Johno Smith using a Uniscender.
They have some drop test videos as well. Here is 330lbs of rocks free fallen 21'. I'm impressed.
They also drop tested a Lock Jack and other hitches.

Yep. I posted that a while back. But, for some reason there seems to be little interest on this subject.

Here is a re-direct idea I use (when it is necessary).
I'll climb both DRT and SRT on the Uni. In the photo, I am climbing DRT until I need to drop down to a different area. I'll then rap down SRT and work off the Uni SRT. I'll then ascend to my re-direct, disconnect, and switch back to DRT.
It is super easy and only requires one biner.

In what situations would you rather be climbing ddrt?

Good questin Kevin. I like to use the DDRT when I'm descending (to save the life of the Uni). If I anticipate alot of ascents and descents (especially longer ascents), I'll be on SRT with the Uni.

The terminating end of the DDRT is placed through the target crotch and the biner is fixed to the clove hitch that is on the working end of the DDRT.
Notice that the orginal T.I.P. is lower and about 15' away from where the re-direct is. If I didn't use a re-direct, I'd be forced to unnecessarily climb harder to do work below me (and even further to my left).
The SRT re-direct is much easier to work off of than a DDRT re-direct. That is the point of the post...

I seem to almost always want to be redirected.
