Kartessa wrote: My boss just gave me one of these babies: [IMG]http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m550/kartessa/0ff7fcbb.jpg[/IMG] Any suggestions on how to rig this puppy? *ground level Holy hell, alright I will give you the answer you so desperately seek. That device is of limited use in slacklining, sure you could use it, but its rather suboptimal. The first problem is that the take-up spool is too wide, if you are using 1", or even 2" webbing you are going to find that as you tighten the line its going to coil up like normal for awhile, but than it is going flop over to the side. If you still want to use it you could just wrap some 2" webbing around the back end of it and terminate it to your master point. However because the webbing is only 2" wide and not 4", what will likely happen is once you start cranking on the thing the webbing is going to flip to one side and its going to be all cockeyed, making your day hell. Realistically, that thing would only be useful if it was welded or bolted to a permanent structure or you were using 4" webbing for your slackline. I would sell it and use the money to buy static rope and some pulleys. Also, that thing is not safe to use on a highline. The strength of the device is not the issue, rather it is how the device is engineered that matters. That ratchet only has one lever jamming the take up-spool. If that lever slips, your in trouble. Ratchets used in slacklining have two jamming levers, one on each side, and the handle itself also locks the take-up spool in place, YET STILL ratchets have despooled when people have fallen on them, as is pointed out in the noobie video I linked earlier. Basically, you should always softpoint your highline unless you are using something like a GriGri to terminate your tensioning system. If you are using a ratchet or rope w/ an ascender or combination pulley, never highline on it, always remove it from the system!
