    Have looked at these.. they have some neat looking devices and not too bad pricing.

    But already having a porty, hobbs and grcs.. I never jumped at this.. not sure how much better than porty.. although looks bigger than porty. Does not have lifting ability the hobbs or grcs has though.

    That's kinda what I was thinking. I have never had a problem with the little play there is when not pretensioned even then I strip out as much slack as possible.

    Can not think of them right now, but think there are maybe others out there that I have seen over the past while.. could be wrong but not sure if this would be them all!

    Agreed.. never bothered me. Have at times used a fiddle block to help with taking up slack if really want to snug up on it.

    stein thread at treebuzz

    I recently posted pics of my newly acquired Stein Dual at Treebuzz. You can go there and see a removal and a preservation pruning.

    Happy to answer any questions you may have about the $1300 device.

    I have a ton of experience with the Hobbs and GRCS as well, so fire away.

    But only by a hair.. the hobbs is awfully close.. the main advantage of the grcs is the mechanical advantage in lifting, and the ability to use a cordless drill to drive it -- all be it an option. May list self tailing as one as well..

    It's pretty early for me to say, since I've only done two jobs with it, but the Stein has two bollards, thus an advantage over the other two devices. It also can do the things the other two devices do and is significantly less expensive, so today my vote goes with the Dual.

    Oh yeah and the WLL is twice the Hobbs, which is pretty good, considering our Hobbs is bent six different ways after 10+ years of use.
