Friction saver for spar work

[Sean80]

Hey guys. I used to choke my line off with a running bowline when working down the spar. I'm waiting for a zigzag to get here and realized I won't be able to do this anymore.
I took a wire core lanyard I don't use and made this friction saver with it for spars that are too large for my Buckingham one. Would you guys use this or should I switch the biner to a heavy duty steel one? Or just not use it at all?

How well does a Prussic grip a wore core lanyard?

It grips it pretty tight. I actually switched from a mechanical adjuster to a VT with a micro pulley when I was using it as a lanyard.

I think it would be heavier then need be is all. I'm going to have a couple made. Tree Stuff will splice up a rope add rings, for the price of materials and the splices.
Seems no one makes a friction saver that goes around a wide tree.

Used it today. Worked pretty slick. Like I said, I'm only going to use it when the spar is too wide for my Buckingham one.
