If it rains are your rope gets wet while you're in the tree And you don't have a Allen wrench with you here pretty much screwed unless you want to test out your luck with new settings , basically have to carry around a prusic line just in case. Basically I wish I had toolless adjustment like the akimbo.

[@treemands]

I have one but wasn't the "first iteration" Gordon's Bulldog Bone? I have one hanging in the other room.

[@1stFlyingeagle]

Well, you guys got me hooked.

I have 2 Rope Wrenches and love them. This RRPro is my next order!!!

[@Thelooch]

👏good stuff

[@woodpeckerarborist]

Just bought my jubilee & can’t wait to try this one vs the akimbo...going yo be fun to play with...doubt I will replace my hitch with the rope wrench for day to day use, but we’ll see...

[@johndurant8687]

So what's the verdict after 11 months?

[@woodpeckerarborist]

@@johndurant8687 I ended up ditching all the mechanicals, including the rope wrench. Now I climb on the “McGovern Hitch” exclusively. Works with SRS or MRS climbing directly without extra friction control.

U have a link to your RR

[@e.lebrunet6311]

Does the rope runner pro will be CE certified right when it will come out or later on?

[@TreeStuffdotcom]

The initial version will not be CE certified, but Notch is working through the certification process and hopes to have a CE certified version available soon.

[@e.lebrunet6311]

@@TreeStuffdotcom ok thanks for the info

[@samsungtv4u]

Needs beefy attachment with swivel.

[@jimmymac1957]

The hitch hiker has three points of friction also.Tongue sticking out emoji.

[@jakubhostinsky4482]

Hi, can it be used also for DRT?

[@TreeStuffdotcom]

Yes, you can attach the static side of your climbing line back to your harness to use it in a DRT setup.

[@turtlezed]

140kg WLL.....will you be testing one to find out what it slips at or breaks at like the zigzag was by NuGreen Store? ....sort of a crash test.....for us dummies.... ??

[@jakubhostinsky4482]

And also - will it be certified for Europe? It seems to me better than TAZ LOV 2 or Petzl Zig Zag.

[@TreeStuffdotcom]

At this point there is no CE certification. Notch is working on getting it tested and CE approved.
