I have 2 Ropeman 1 that I love, but was looking at selling 1 or both and moving towards the Kong. The only down fall of the Ropeman 1 is a little small when I have gloves on. Does anyone run the Kong that use to have the Ropeman 1. I was thinking of using the Kong for my Tether line and the Ropeman for my lineman belt. Any thoughts.

I have a brand new Kong that I might consider trading for a R1. Are you interested?
 
I have used both, the only advantage of the kong over the ropeman is the kong is rated down to 8 mm rope. If you aren't using 8 mm rope then there isn't a reason to get a kong. Some guys here use the ropeman 1 with 8 mm rope and just use a fatter carabiner. To each is own on that one.
 
10-4 was trying to find out any thoughts on the Kong vs Ropeman. Was not trying to use this a a for sale post. Want honest info on what people think of Kong vs Ropemam
