Rock-N-Rescue 8mm Sewn Prusik Loops - Made in USA, Arborist, Firefighting, Rigging, and Rescue Gear

This is a well made purpose built prusik cord that has an advertised MBS of 20.5kn in standard configuration. It is easy to tie in to the rope and can be used in several different ways. It is a lot cleaner than a hand tied loop. It offers good grip on 10.5mm static line (as tested). In a pinch it could work as third hand or an autoblock (slowly) but it is probably too short to be used as a VT prusik. It seems like a good performing cord for the price.

This works much better with my rope wrench than a double eye prusik. So much easier to install. Works great.

At the time I ordered this Prusik loop I did not realize it is designed specifically for systems where a knot causes problems, such as with pulleys. It is advertised as "stronger than a knot", to which I say, really?? I have a hard time imagining any scenario where a heavy load could cause a properly tied knot in a Prusik loop to undo itself. A knot is stronger than the 8mm rope, so it seems moot. The rope would break before the knot would pull itself apart. But I actually feel more confident with a knot than this sewn-loop Prusik because knots are easy to inspect.While they advertise that the clear coating allows for easy inspection of the stitching, that is only partially true. The label obscures part of the stitching, and the way that the cover is heat-shrunk in place makes it so the label is fixed in one spot and cannot be shifted. So for all intents and purposes it is not possible to inspect all of the stitching. Some of the stitching will always be hidden by the label.The label does say to "Inspect daily" which is not the most confidence-inspiring thing to read on any label. It also says "For professional use only" which is strange. As a non professional I should not use this -- whaaaaatt?? Nobody should be hawked a product with this description---> "an ideal choice for anyone who needs a high-performance option for heavy outdoor use in a wide variety of applications", only to receive the product and find it labelled "For professional use only". Get your marketing schtick to be consistent please! Is this for "anyone", or is it for professionals only?In conclusion, if your system requires a knotless Prusik this seems to be a great choice as far as I can tell. Quality seems high for safety purposes. If you don't require a knotless Prusik then personally I would recommend using a knotted one for the ease of inspection.

Great Product. Sewn nicely and is a great Prusik for the money. This is the only ones I use.

This will be a Christmas gift, so I really can't give a true review

The basics are here; ends are well sewn together, plastic sleeve snug but allows movement so you can adjust your loop lengths. Specifically just shy of 22" in length from loop end to loop end.This example is made from a firm 8mm cord that is still flexible enough to execute a triple wrap around a primary line with no surprises or issues. To me the outer wrap is woven/textured similarly to Yale Bee-Line (except maybe a bit slicker/"shinier") with a firmness a little more than Teufelberger's Ocean line; it is stiffer to try to fold back on itself.It is tagged clearly, as the product pictures show. The label includes the manuf. name, product description, statements about proper use/storage/inspection, the Part# and Lot#.Per the label: End to end MBS: 4600 lbf. Basket MBS: 10000 lbf.Wrapped around a compatibly textured primary line, I'm comfortable using this for minding a pulley and am comfortable for it to be a full load bearing item in the system... the load being me...I'm not a professional and don't have years and years of experience but I don't wanna die so those are the key factors in deciding whether my opinion about life support use case holds any weight with you.I'd say if you're looking for a new brand/product to try this is worth taking a look and seeing if it fits with your other gear. Stay Wise!Best Luck. ~Cheers!

I saw this being offered and took the opportunity to try it out out and share my thoughts. This Prusik loop is in my personal off duty kit and is used as a backup progress capture. I work in fire rescue and a member of my agency’s technical rescue team and use lots of different gear such as loops similar to this, only a bit larger in diameter. I have used a lot of equipment from Rock-N-Rescue and have a lot of confidence in build quality. This loop is perfect for a personal kit, the MBS (Minimum Break Strength) can hold two people all day. Having sown loops are a personal preference, which I prefer in my kit. Chances are, if you’re looking at buying this, you are familiar with these. They are made in the USA and are quality products. I recommend adding these as they can be used for a lot of different tasks.

Over the years I've adopted several pieces of 'climbing equipment' for general use around the house and vehicle. This Prusik look is one of the handiest. From looping through car headrests to hold trash containers to hanging miscellaneous items when camping, etc., this loop belongs in the category of duct tape for handy things to have around. I really like this loop better than my homemade ones and a couple of others that I've bought at REI. I've taken a picture to illustrate how the cord is first sewn together very securely, then covered with a thick plastic sleeve to protect the sewing and make the cord end smooth. This loop feels 'very' sturdy. I suspect it will last a long time.
