ith the axis of the worker and optimize
grip.

The ZIG ZAG Mechanical Prusik allows the user to move around efficiently in a tree using classic Prusik pulley system technique. The linked rings provide precision and fluidity when moving around. The pulley is mounted on sealed ball bearings to allow the slack to be taken up easily. The steel construction offers great durability. Petzl recommends the Petzl OK Carabiner to use with the ZIG ZAG Mechanical Prusik.

  • Technique identical to classic Prusik pulley system.
  • Can be used on either doubled ropes or single rope, providing great versatility.
  • The lower attachment hole is fixed to ensure alignment of the device with the axis of the worker and optimize grip.
  • Release lever mounted on spring for great precision when jamming/releasing the device. Varying the pressure on this lever controls the speed of the descent.
  • Friction links provide progressive braking action for fluidity when moving around.
  • Pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings to allow slack to be taken up easily.
  • Steel construction for improved durability.
  • Upper connection point to easily connect the end of the double rope. It has a flexible ring that helps maintain the connector in the major axis position.

Love it

Quit thinking about it and get one. It's fantastic. Spend the extra, and get the one with the swivel. Even if you've got a swivel already. It'll shorten you system enough to make it worth it.

Must have

I debated getting this for quite sometime i finally got one and all i can say it wow wish i wouldve got one sooner. Descent is smooth as long as you release it right im not even sure how to release it wrong seen a few people complain about that i absoulutely love it and you put a hand ascender above it with a pulley and have 2:1 ratio makes climbing on hot muggy days that much easier. If you wanna speed up production and climb with less effort get one i highly reccomend

Smooth as silk

Great for DRT, smooth as silk. Very easy to use. Don't have to worry about taking up slack, the rope just feeds right through it. Very smooth decent and it stays cool even on long fast decents.
