Notch 36-inch Friction Saver with Aluminum Wear Safe Rings – ANSI Z133 & CE Certified

Meet the Notch 36-inch Friction Saver, a purpose-built climbing accessory designed to protect rope, bark, and gear while smoothing ascents. It combines patented Aluminum Wear Safe Rings that visibly signal retirement with durable, multi-layer nylon webbing that resists fraying and twisting. The device features bright coloration and high-contrast ends for quick visibility in sunlit canopies or shadowed workspaces, helping you orient the tool quickly without interrupting your climb. By reducing friction and adding rope-friendly support, this friction saver offers a practical, non-prescriptive option for tree access tasks.

Smart design for safer climbs

• Wear Safe rings include a visible wear indicator to signal retirement when appropriate.
• Rings are built for strength, with a 30 kN rating to back up everyday use.
• The overall product rating sits at 23 kN, reflecting robust performance in typical climbing scenarios.
• Meets ANSI Z133 standards and CE certification for safety-conscious professionals.

Constructed from multi-layered, fray-resistant nylon webbing, the Notch Friction Saver resists twisting and snagging while maintaining a rope-friendly surface. Its design reduces friction during ascent, and it can also serve as a false crotch when you need added positioning control. The bright color scheme improves visibility in busy environments, and color-coded ends simplify retrieval after a climb.
