Neat looking bit of gear, however the rope may not stay on the roller given the varying direction of pull, also may not be large enough at other end to release safety loop cleanly. that idea on purpose built design would be awesome I would think. I got dynabar V7, can't really fault it as yet, though quite heavy.

I gave the revolver a miss & ended up just adding a Ronstan pulley and stainless ring to hook the CL to, hopefully get to try it out tomoz.

That looks the goods, simple and low friction, assume rated to take the weight, be interested in the outcome.

Works great, still on the same rope - so that's almost 12 months now.

Now thinking of getting a Dynabar V8 so I can try unhooking, anyone have the V8 and can comment on if its worth the $$$

You don't need a pulley at all according to the latest Dynabar 8 video and others who are in the know. In that video they demonstrate a dual fixed hook / sliding rope combo. They have both fixed hook and rope in place and the rope simply has a stainless steel ring on it that the chicken loop goes through. I was told you don't even need a ring and can even more simply put the chicken loop directly over the rope.

Yes, your right - you don't need the pulley but after a couple of seasons using just a shackle/ring or CL hooked straight to the rope, I much prefer the pulley + there is virtually no wear now.

Just can't unhook with my set up.

^^ That was my first thought but the advise I received was that wear on the chicken loop wouldn't really be an issue
