You channel deserves more subscribers and I bought lots of DMM stuff since saw your videos.Really love DMM products.thx. Keep going with your high quality videos,cheers.
Thanks for the details! Nerd on! Just getting started and researching so I really appreciate comparing numbers and details. Thanks again! (1st ever saddle arrives FRIDAY!!)
@@CaseySnyder I got a MonkeyBeaver! Overkill for a first but should last me a long time considering this is a hobby, though I'm a GC up here in Portland and plan to use the bigger pieces I cut for....projects.
Great review Casey. Going to buy a rapide soon to replace my philosh pulley. Luv your man cave,you should do a video of all your climbing equipment. I'm just new at rec.tree climbing and luv all the new gear out there. Climb smart and climb safe .
Awesome man! I like the Phlotich too, but you just can't beat the Rapide. I think it's even better than the new Eccentric. If you ever have any questions on gear feel free to send me a message man! Climb on!
I use the Rigger w/ Beckett and put the eye of the rope side carabiner on the Beckett and one the three hole side I use the top for my hitch and bottom as saddle attachment leaving the middle open for a lanyard attachment, second climb line etc. I have not experienced any problems with this way of setting up and have found it to be even more convenient then the normal hitch climber because of the added options. Everyone likes options right.
Do you believe the bushing version could be easier to maintain as compared to ball bearings? I am worried that ball bearings are normally sensitive to contamination. Bearings often use a seal but these are not always water tight we’re dust and dirt can trash a bearing quickly. When a bearing goes bad, you must buy a new one and I assume these bearings are pressed into the pulley? Thank you for your reviews, fun editing and sharing your experiences.
Very detailed video, I mainly climb mechanicals now, but that hitchclimber is getting a run this year. Do a video about the chicane you will get views, Plus I'm interested to hear your opinion on it. Have a good 2020 man climb safe 👊
Didn’t someone’s testing find out that most efficiency loss in pulleys comes from smaller radius of the rope turning. In other words, identical bearings but larger diameter pulley wheel will be more efficient. A 4” diameter pulley with bushing is smoother and easier travel of the rope than a 2” with ball bearings.
Hey! Sorry I am slow to replying to this question. I studied film and graphic design in highschool so I know basic photoshop skills. I just study other thumbnails, try to emulate, then ask my wife what she thinks and tweak it before posting.
I believe the efficiency is the same as the Rapide as they both use a ball bearing to rotate the pulley. Potentially they are more efficient as the shape of the Eccentric is designed to guide the rope through the pulley in a smoother manner.

Apologies for the audio being so loud. I must have had my headphones at home turned too low. Anyway thanks for not being mad at me.
I watched all of that while packing for a three day work trip. My neighbors must hate bucket and chip trucks by now....🤪

Been using the Hitchclimber since I started climbing a year ago. Love the DMM quality !! Will someday try the Rapide - Thanks for a very good video !
Thanks for the nice comment! Can't agree more. DMM is my go to for Pulleys and Carabiners.

That is so awesome man! Did the saddle come? What did ya get!?

Great review, I wish you more followers Casey, I enjoy watching your videos! And I agree DMM make great stuff.
Thanks so much!

Great production man 👌, appreciate it!

that was fun! i like the bloopers
Thanks so much! They're very fun to add!
hi Casey - have you got a video on the preferred tether for the rope wrench?
I loved the xfile zoom in on the 🌲 motion
So everyone in the comments just ignored the fact that roped moved by itself , did you have a draft or by a vent? Anyhow great video
That was ghosts...
Have you heard about that guy with the strongest mechanical device that's mechanical in the world?
Do you believe the bushing version could be easier to maintain as compared to ball bearings?

Can you please tell me what do you think the best hitchcord eye to eye and also the best rope to use for the hitch climber setup please climbing line

Thanks man! Chicane Video is definitely my plan. Have a great new year too!
Bro awesome little climbing man cave!! Love it
Thanks man, it's a good space! I spend a lot of time there now that it's too frigid to chill in the garage!

Hey Casey! You have a magnificent thumbnail, what is your process?

@@CaseySnyder Thanks for the answer ! Photoshop is powerful and scary :)
Your a beast! Very well done!
Thanks Dan, keep being kickass.
I also use dry graphite once a month on all my pulleys. Was wondering if anyone uses a different product and benefit of ?
Dry graphite is not recommended by DMM. See this page for reference: dmmwales.com/knowledge/april-2021/carabiner-inspection-maintenance
What is the efficiency of the Eccentric ? Any better than the Rapide ?
I believe the efficiency is the same as the Rapide as they both use a ball bearing to rotate the pulley. Potentially they are more efficient as the shape of the Eccentric is designed to guide the rope through the pulley in a smoother manner.
Thanks Casey !
Absolutely, happy to help!
@@CaseySnyder thanks that helped me too ! good job :D
Say word
❤️
I didn’t know tree climbing was a thing.
Give it a try! How did you find this video? Just curious!
@@CaseySnyder I was looking for good pulley to aid me in a one arm pull up.
