I think the tibloc is a great piece of gear and i don't know why more boaters don't carry them, i don't think they'll ever replace an actual cordalette but they are super handy and quick. Great review man.
DMM revolver carabiners are another handy way to improve your haul kit. Pulley built into the carabiner. Two tiblocs and two revolvers has gotta be the lightest/smallest rescue set up 👌
Not so sure... Revolver are designed to reduce rope drag on runners, they pulley doesn't perform very well when weighted and it is on the wrong side of the carabiner so it can't be clipped into a Tibloc (try it!). You might be better off for that use case with something like Petzl Rollaclip
The orange part is to apply a slight pressure to the carabiner so the tibloc can't slide down the rope/ will grab immediately as the old model did not do perfectly.
It look like a good safety device. For arborist work I don't see this replacing prusiks due to how a prusik can be used as both an ascend and descend device. A lot of climbers are using zigzags now instead of prusks but I think mainly in the arborist trade.
You sohuld clip the carabiner the way that the rope is inside the carabiner and not on the outside... for a pulley system with progress capture this doesn't really matter but there are implications where you would just hang off the tibloc and not the rope.
Actually it is. Petzl provides the following description of the device on their website "Ultra-light and very compact ascender for rope ascents, hauling systems or friction knot replacement in self-rescue situations."
@@rasmuspreston I don't doubt your quote is correct, however friction knots vary greatly in their use and application so to compare this to a friction knot seems to be misleading in my eyes. The most obvious reason is that (unless i have misunderstood) this device cannot descend when under load as many friction knots can?
thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of gear review
I like your lighting it really highlights your subject
Dang, if only you got to 1000, you could have made a little side money. Nice video BTW. You do a nice job. I subscribed.

Thanks. Your right, the cordaletta will never be replaced. It has some many uses.
muy bueno , makina.

Sweet. I'll have to check them out.

I’m sure glad I’ve got a tiblock use it all the time dropped it off several cliffs you need a little string for it
Would definetely use it as a backup or as the primary but not alone when ascending
Ti block an amazing equipament.
Great video, the orange part is a snow scoop for when its being used in icy/ snowy conditions

Why can't they make a version of this device that fits 2 ropes so I can use it as an autoblock when rappelling?

After a bit of thought, I agree. I don't think it will replace the prusik. I have it as a back up, in my kit.
It would be nice if they made them for 1/2" arborist line.
Will two of these fit on the same carabiner next to each other for dual ropes? It would be a light weight alternative to the Shunt

thanks for the advice!
The name should be
"THIS LITTLE GUY"
where did u get your hat man? its awsome!
I found it at a shop in Stanley Idaho. I don't know if they still have them. I definitely want another.
I dont think this was intended to be a replacement for a prusik but i see what you're getting at

But the teeth will damage your rope?
A little bit yes. The ropes lifespan may be shortened a little.
It's hard on ropes
23euros
Not good for falls or heavy loads
You shouldn’t ever be in a position to fall on it
Sorry man, but Your video sucks on the quick review from that little guy.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll look for ways to improve in the future.
