XTX SOFTGRIP CLUTCH

-

Today’s running rigging poses a challenge for rope-holding devices and a risk of the rope’s cover being torn. Spinlock’s new answer combines both mechanical and textile technologi­es. It is a braided textile tube that holds the rope, around which is a spring that’s used to make the hold and release operation. It’s kind to the line and offers an easier and more controlled release of a loaded rope than a convention­al clutch. Prices from £160, www.spinlock.co.uk
