How to choose Prusik diameter?
- In most cases, the Prusik cord should be about 60% to 80% of the standing line (main rope) in diameter.
- Skinnier cords will have a too-tight bite, Thicker cords in opposite can't generate enough grip on the standing line and tends to slip.
- For safety, always take tests of the Prusik knot to slide and re-grab on the rope in safe places prior to using it at height.

Decent prusik for the money. Full disclosure... I have not rappelled with it yet. Just bought it for an emergency decent/escape/rescue kit. It seems well made with good stitching. A prusik is not a primary brake mechanism in most cases, but more of a fail safe used as a backup to your belay device. I think this one is adequate for that purpose.

We bought this for a basement hoisting job. It worked great, but was a little longer, we found, than we needed. If you're hoisting with your blocks close together, you might want a 13" prusik. We made it work, and it got the job done.

Fait son office pour assurer en tant qu'étrangleur une longe de maintien d'arboriste.J'utilisais la version 6 mm, jamais eu de soucis, néanmoins je préfère augmenter le diamètre afin de me sécuriser un peu plus.Ne pas utiliser pour la descente car la matière chauffe très rapidement en cas de forte friction, a ce moment préférez une cordelette en aramide.

This was easy for me being a beginner saddle hunter. I made a prusik on a 11 mm static line and it Is very strong. Love the product and I will buy more from this company.

Used them yesterday in a State Certificate ROPE rescue class. Though not NFPA, they worked better than some of the NFPA stuff. FYI i backed it up. Easy to use, firefighter proof, new student proof, excellent. Held up to 3 days of hard use, with no problem.

So far, this little loop of cord does the what it's title suggests. I have not used it enough to rate wear and tear. The rope seems to be made of a sturdy and durable climbing grade material. Using it on an 11mm climbing rope, I found that the shorter loop gives me a 3 wrap prusik with just enough lengh left to clip in. The longer loop gives me a 3 wrap prusik with about a foot left of cord to clip in. The rope is a bit stiff, but this might change after more use. You have to make sure to properly adjust the knot and pull it tight before attaching anything. I'm also unsure if the plasic covering near the end of the loop is supposed to be left on. Taking it off would make one continuous loop with two ends sewn together.
