Mechanical Flipline Adjusters
These mechanical flipline adjusters are great devices for adjusting the length of a flipline. They require only one hand to adjust, unlike a prusik knot, and are more durable and less likely to be damaged or cut during cutting. Because they secure on the flipline with a nut and bolt, they are not ideal for use as ascenders in rope climbing. For quick-release versions of some of these rope grabs, see our ascenders page here.
Our most popular flipline adjuster is the Petzl Macrograb. Our newest selection is the ART Positioner 2.
Petzl Micrograb and Macrograb Flipline Adjuster
Our most popular flipline adjusters have an anodized aluminum body, cable spring to tension the ribbed cam, and are easy to install with included nylock nut. The incredible ease of use and repair on this unit make this very popular.
Petzl Micrograb and Macrograb Repair Kits
Repair kits contain nylock nut, 3 replacement springs, 2 replacement screws for the springs, and all allen wrenches need to repair the unit.
