Yup, that's a neat little device, I picked one up for messing around with also, I'm sure I'll find a use for it. Also following this post now
That was my one of my thoughts also, I've got one coming so we'll seeI’m curious to see if it could be used on a lineman’s belt or if still requires somewhat of a two hand adjustment.

On behalf of all, where are you purchasing the proper sized O ring that fits? Just go into Lowe’s or HD maybe? Yes, I just ordered one and am a Slyde rookie but we all know you want to ask to. You know who you are....To descend , or let rope out, it needs to be unweighted and rotate the device to unblock the rope. Easy one hand tending though.
Too small of a diameter rope causes it to bypass itself in the device so the it only wraps around and won’t lock up.
The Petzl and DMM rubber grommets are too small to work, an o ring with a twist holds nicely.

One more edit: these came from an extras box for the picture, they will be returne, to give an indication how much I use them.
The o ring is great! Does it eliminate the metal on metal sound? Also jealous you found the gold one.To descend , or let rope out, it needs to be unweighted and rotate the device to unblock the rope. Easy one hand tending though.

Now I may have to try the Slyde.
I only climb trees, mostly use a climb line and a lanyard, with both being used for a tether, lineman’s, for ascending and descending. A Sticht hitch does the same as the Slyde, only easier to operate.Well, keep one out and give it another chance?
