Often the best solution is the most simple. While there are various knots and mechanical devices that can attach an intermediate tie-off point onto a rope, the LineGrabber from Davis Instruments makes it easy. To create an attachment point in any line without making a knot, LineGrabber employs a basic Prusik Hitch, familiar to most climbers. Simply wrap it around and through itself twice and cinch it tight. The more tension applied to LineGrabber, the more it tightens itself on the rope.

With hundreds of applications, LineGrabber is ideal for creating a soft, strong attachment point almost anywhere. It can easily be used to grab chains and railing or climb any rope. LineGrabber attaches to harnesses, pulleys and gently to car tops. Also perfect for rafts, boats, and kayaks, it can help secure an anchor or create a temporary mooring.

Made from 1/4″ high modulus fiber with a sewn loop at each end, LineGrabber can hold up to 2,000 pounds. For any size line from 1/2″ to 1″ in diameter, users loop the LineGrabber twice around and through itself each time. Cinching it tight then creates a strong, secure attachment point. For lines smaller than 1/2″ in diameter, the LineGrabber can be looped around three times.

To easily adjust and remove the loop, owners just loosen it, slide where needed and cinch it tight. This handy, convenient product also floats.

Davis Instruments’ LineGrabbers have a price of $16.99 per pair.
