I'll try to remember the name some of the guys I did high rises with used them, Its a great brake tube for super long rappels. The device is spring loaded, and to descend you have to pull down on the tube. Not much application for tree work but if you got a good price keep it around.

 

[P_woozel]

I got it its a Genie, and it does work good like I said you pull down on the tube to descend and release to stop. How much did you pay for it?

 

[hobby climber]

Its used mainly by window washers, it attaches the platform (board/seat), that they sit on & to their suspension line. (Rope lines only). My two cents anyway. HC

 

[P_woozel]

You mean sit on, its called a Bosun's chair. Not all lines work with it. No three strand, kernmantle is fine. The company that produces that device has their own line for it looks like a nylon double braid, very bouncy.

Hey Hobby
How's tricks!
I talked to a window dude one day as he was touching down. He had a descender like that!
We had a good chat, those window boy's are kind of like long lost cousins eh!

I got all this for 150.00, the 400' of unused rope was worth it

Those are made for cable (wire rope).

 

[Curtis James]

I'm not sure if it is my uncle dusty that gave it to me but I have one of those rope cable clamps. I thought they used it in iron working or utility. I have it sitting in the pile of stuff that I have and don't use. I know Ebay right?

That could be though that Miller grab has nowhere the rating of a Havens wire grip. The Millers get sold as a "rope" grab.

That "splice" might be quite strong, but who knows!?!? SCAREEEEE!

FWIW I have never felt comfortable with a simple whipped eye. However the literature shows that they are tremendously strong when done properly.
