If your at home though then making this little puller will make the final part of the thread much easier.

I have some spare 19mm plasma I use as a GP type of rope around camp. I have only gone in and out about 4 times as the more pressure the tighter the grip.
Has not let go but I use mainly for logs around camp, I'll put up a pic, I only fitted a rated hook to each end, I could of course feed it down the centre
Thanks MR great links.
I'm constantly impressed how much info you can pick up on this forum
Think it's worth mentioning --
Reading the links attached printed info "could" help you do an even better job repairing your own gear.
EG--how kinks, knots, twists, bend etc can weaken a rope.
so called "best practice" will help keep rope integrity & lesson the chance of mishaps even further.
not preaching, personal experience trying to repair a rope well on the first attempt does breed confidence.
Locked Brummel or a Brummel seized with whipping or heat shrink is the the way to go with synthetics
Heat shrinking not too hot for the rope??
No way. Doesn't take much temperature to shrink it.Quote:

Anyway would make it look finished and shop brought lol
Good to know, thanks!Quote:
