Your climbing line is an important tool which carries your life on it every day - take care of it! Not only will you want to store and transport it an arborist rope bag, but you'll want to keep it clean and dry, and give it the occasional wash! Arborist ropes should never be cleaned with chemicals, abrasives, or anything which may damage the integrity of the rope fibers - use Rope Soap instead. We also have colored electrical tape, rope-sealer, and an electric rope cutter to help seal rope ends.

Quickly and easily finish rope ends by taping a band around the rope, then making your cut through the tape. You'll see many ropes coming from the manufacturer with their ends finished with tape. A fast and inexpensive method.
These bands have been re-purposed from their veterinary use to make a captive, tight-eye on our 5" eye-splices. This helps keep the carabiner properly positioned. They can also be used to make speedline slings by keeping nylon runners properly positioned on an oval carabiner. Use the banding tool to quickly apply a band to make any loop or eye a captive eye.
