This self retracting lifeline has the look and feel of a good quality device. All hardware looks and feels very well made and heavy duty. The stopping system works very well just as it should. The retracting action is smooth and consistent.Cable looks and feels durable and good quality.I use this to climb the mast on my sailboat and feel very comfortable with its use and the immediate stopping safety feature. Overall, very happy with the quality and functionality of this retractable lifeline!

Got this for those times when I need to walk out on the roof to clean the gutters. There is no way I'd go to certain corners of the roof to clean where there is a 2 story drop without being tied to something. This seems to fit the bill- secure one end to the chimney and the other to myself (need to get a harness to clip to) and feel more confident cleaning dangerous sections of the roof. This is a cheap insurance policy that you hopefully never need but makes you feel more confident.The product does feel sort of cheap- the metal clips and plastic housing especially, and it is a cheap and inexpensive product designed to save your from a fatal fall. Does not feel like a professional product you would use if your job was tree trimming or roofing, etc. It feels like a product a home owner would purchase so they can hang christmas tree lights on their eves or clean their gutters. It does stop when you yank on it, and seems like it would break a fall when in use, just doesn't feel like something you would actually use on the regular. Does require some sort of anchor and some sort of means of attaching to yourself, like a harness, not just to your belt or something.

I got this to use as a lifeline backup while doing tree work. I can climb with my main lifeline and tie this off near the top and use it in case I have to move my main lifeline. Or use it for limb walking. It will reel out if you go slowly. It only stops if there is a sudden jerk on the cable. Yeah it's only 33ft long, but that should be all I need. I don't need it to reach the ground if I'm 50 feet up.This unit is really heavy. The carabiner is heavy with a threaded lock. It's size and weight may be a hindrance when climbing but we'll see.I have a few rope setups hanging from an I-beam in my basement. I hooked this up to one and used a second with another fall protection device as a backup in case this didn't work right. Put on my harness, stepped up about a foot, and jumped. This stopped my fall very fast and there was plenty of slack on the secondary, so I know this took the full fall. The only real movement I had was because I used a dynamic rope. I did it a couple more times just to be sure and it worked every time.Could I do the same thing with another rope and a Prusik? Sure. But this seemed like a neat alternative. I'm very impressed with it and it should do the job I want it to do.

Me and my son-in-law built a tree house with a 9/12 roof pitch which is un-walkable at about a 38 degree angle (similar to steep roof churches).We installed a 4ft x 6 ft roof skylight that has to be cleaned twice a year. We did install a safety roof anchor at the peak of the roof when we shingled thew roof. On previous skylight cleanings, we simply tied a rope the around the waist and onto the safety anchor and another rope onto a nearby tree for fall protection.I was never comfortable with this situation and was always looking for an automatic catch and stop safety device with a relatively short overall maximum length. This model RTOVZON Fall Arrest has an 11 foot cable which will be just enough length to reach the skylight from the safety hook (other of their models have longer working lengths). We also now have an official safety vest in lieu of a tie around the waist. I am much more comfortable now when the sky light needs cleaning. (When we shingled the roof, we used roof jacks and 2 x12 lumber to crawl around without safety lines. Looking back, it would have been nice to have this RTOVZON then . It would have made the job go much faster. ) I can sleep good at night now, without worry.The attaching hardware seems strong and failsafe. The snap shackle for your vest is a one hand operation. The connection to the roof mounted safety ring is more of a two hand operation where you screw spinning fittings over the opening of the shackle to prevent it from accidentally opening up if caught in the line. The line pulls out of the housing evenly when pulled slowly, but a quick jerk on the line activates two pawls inside the unit which lock up the drum and prevent any more line from pulling out and thus saving your fall. Using this two or three times a year, it will probably last us a lifetime. If you intend to use one daily, a more expensive professional model would probably be a better choice.
