With its minimal size (height) and light weight, it's a perfect fit for tree climbing. It's also great for bridge attachment. Key features include super - smooth operation with sealed ball bearings, a large capture eye that allows easy carabiner rotation, 4 - axis CNC machined aluminum alloy construction, CE certification to EN 354, and it's proudly made in the USA. Specs: Height is 81 mm, width 38 mm, weight 99 g, eye diameter 25 mm, strength 26 kN, and working load limit 5 kN. It's certified as CE 0120, EN 354.
Using the Rock Exotica Orbiter Swivel is easy. First, attach it to your climbing system or bridge setup using the large capture eye for the carabiner. It will help keep your ropes from twisting, making your climbing experience smoother. When using it for tree climbing, its light weight and compact size won't weigh you down. Just make sure the working load doesn't exceed 5 kN to ensure safety. As for maintenance, keep it clean from dirt and debris. After use, you can wipe it down with a dry cloth. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly to prevent rust on the stainless - steel parts. Check the ball bearings regularly to make sure they're still smooth. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, replace the swivel right away.
