What to Compare Before Buying
- Loop length: Check that the selected configuration is 24 inches rather than the also-mentioned 18-inch option.
- Rope diameter and hitch: Compare the rope’s actual diameter with the stated 11-12.5 mm range, and confirm suitability for the specific rope and intended hitch.
- Quantity: Check how many loops are in the selected configuration before relying on a pack count.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
The listing names Prusik, Autoblock, and Klemheist friction hitches and specifies an 11-12.5 mm rope range. This does not establish compatibility with every rope, hitch setup, or climbing or rescue application. Confirm the particular equipment and intended use against the relevant manufacturers’ instructions.
Safe Use and Important Precautions
The stated MBS alone does not establish a safe working load, system compatibility, or suitability for a life-safety application. Follow the applicable equipment instructions and procedures for selection, setup, inspection, and use; do not use the rating alone to make a safety decision.
Before You Decide
Confirm the 24-inch length, rope diameter and intended hitch, and the quantity in the selected configuration. Check that the particular application is supported by the relevant equipment instructions, not just by the stated MBS.
