Sorry man I’ve since switched gear hangers and I can’t find it. But here’s a sorta pic of what I did:

I heated the upper hook and squeezed it together right where the red line bisects each side. I also removed the wire gate. I heated and squeezed the number 2 anchor point where the blue line bisects both sides. Not completely closed but enough so that it would tightly grab the gear strap and not move. After that I threw some automotive heat shrink over the large hook to help with sound reduction and also not scratch up my cam.
 
@Exhumis do you like the tether locker? I quit using my delta link for everything except final rappel because my line (11.4mm) always wanted to sag a little, that's no good. I thought the ohm might help. Sorry I don't mean to hyjack the thread

Yeah I like it. Lotsa folks use a nite ize or gear tie but for me this works well since I leave it tied to my rappel line.

Simple Tether Quick Link Stopper "Knot"

You're all overthinking this guys... ...Plastic chip clip Clip it onto your dump pouch or shirt pocket until you need it, then pinch it onto your rope... Done.

Will 9mm canyon elite work with quick link delta? Opening on the quick link looks pretty small, I haven’t gotten the rope yet, want to make sure, also the edges on the opening.. do u guys file it down carefully? mine came very sharp

9 mm delta link works fine with 9 mm rope, 8 mm delta link works but it is a tight

i ordered a 10 mm delta link and they increase all dimensions at that threshold of size and it becomes a boat anchor

i use 9 mm delta links because they are a little heavier than 8 mm delta links but stronger with a bigger opening and the bend radius of the rope going around the 9 mm is a little less severe....it is the sweet spot for me

The only options they had were stainless and the other finishes so it would be my fault, for assuming.
 
^^^ I love EWO but there's a lot of good climbing stuff on Amazon too...

I will NOT buy the Chinese crap though!
 
Thanks @Exhumis I'll probably give that a try.

I do have to say it's @DB4x4 for the win! And here I was thinking clothes pin, although I'd need a big one! Lol Or maybe one of those black springy office clips. Chip clip to the rescue!

Finally, someone is going to join Team Chip Clip... :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

I saw someone using a wire chip clip / paper clamp / clothespin thing that I want to try. If I girth hitch it to my pulldown line a foot or so in from the attachment to the rap line it should pop off if I forget to remove it. And I won't loose it (maybe).
