Yea compared to the reduced rating for the jammy. I guess prusik to prusik the jammy wins.They should work fine if you're ok with 12.5 kn. That's "personal comfort for my application" not "life support rated"

The ratchet is a loop. The stock jammy is a loop. the ratchet is just 6mm cord in a sewn loop with an extra plastic thingy. It's rated for progress capture i believe.Yea compared to the reduced rating for the jammy. I guess prusik to prusik the jammy wins.
Are you going to use it as a prusik? I ordered one as well and that's my plan.Just got my 35 jammy in...its so little and cute ;-)

HTP is very stiff, great LB. The Oplux is much much more supple.Out of those who have used both 9mm htp and oplux - how do they compare in feel/suppleness?
Yes it cuts ropes at 4kn (900 pounds) or so.What is the Ropeman R1? Is it really that much weaker compared to the stock Prusiks?
There's some subtlety regarding what climbers expect from prusik cord, vs what arborists expect from what I can tell - with us in the middle.
Yes - it's on us to evaluate to what extent we need a fall arrest system (e.g. one sticking, standing in a pivot-platform, etc.) Vs a positioning aid.Yeah, I agree completely. Nothing wrong with being too safe, certainly better than the opposite. However, we do seem to take this to the extremes a little. With the exception of the one stick method, I can't envision a scenario with slack in the system. If that's the case then a truly fall rated piece of equipment might not even be necessary. Either way, these threads are healthy conversations, I'm glad we have a place to work through these things.
You're really at the most risk while using any of the methods that require a linemans belt which I believe we can all agree isn't a fall restraint at all. It helps prevent you from slipping but if/when you do the results vary greatly from slamming your face into the tree on one end and sliding to the bottom on the other end. Anyway, I digress.

Weaker in the sense it should not be used for fall arrests. Most of what we do keeps tension on the line, so Ropeman 1 works fine.

If you don't fall, everything works!Just don’t exceed 4kn and run a friction backup and you’ll be fine.
