Rollnlock.

[kodiak3842]

Anyone have experience with these? Sure looks a lot like a Kong Duck, but I have never used either.
I am considering switching my tree tether to 9mm HTP, and need one or the other of these, since a Ropeman 1 is not rated for 9mm.

I'm using the ropeman 2 with sterling 9mm works good. The ropeman 1 does work but I find it hard to trust it.

Can’t help you with experience but I’m looking at the rollnlock also. Like it’s more versatile than the Duck and the pulley could be useful for hoisting game.

There’s a good utube comparison of the two. Looks like the rollNlock has much more going for it. More $ as I recall also, though. I’ll see if I can find it...

I’ve seen the rollnlock for $56-$62.
If I find the website again I’ll post it.

I think i recall someone disliking due to the multiple modes of operation. They didn't like using a device as a rope clamp/ascender that could be switched to pulley mode.

You are correct. Some were worried about falling by accidently switching it to a pulley.
I have used a rollnlock for 2 years on and off. It works fine IMO
I have never had a problem with it

Glad to hear some are using them. I found them on Amazon yesterday for $27 each. Ordered 2 for that price.

Don't see them listed at that price today though.

Wow!

Yea, when I saw the prices elsewhere, and from other sellers, I had to at least try them. Hoping they are legit

That is a great price. It is heavier than a ropeman 1 or kong. You can add a piece of paracord to it to release it. I think I saw that on the rollinlock comparison to a kong or ropeman.

I also ordered 2 don’t be surprised if amazon emails you to inform you that the order has not been filled and your card will not be charged and you won’t receive your order.

It happened to me.

I've received enough Chinese counterfeits from Amazon there is no way I'd ever buy any hardware or ropes I trust my life with, especially at a price like that. That's just my $.02.

rocknrescue.com $62.95
GMESUPPLY.COM $56.62
Bartlettman.com $50.00

I think the Kong is Italian?

I also ordered the $27 rollnlock from amazon. i was notified that it shipped a week or two ago and i watched the tracking as it was delivered to a mailbox in a state that i don't live in. i contacted amazon, who then contacted the seller, and nothing happened. today amazon refunded my money. lesson learned.
