Flipline Adjusters

Flipline adjusters are arborist tools, and positioning adjusters perform similar functions in an industrial safety environment. While almost any ascender or rope grab can be (and probably has been) used as a flipline/positioning adjustor, the units shown here were specifically marketed as flipline adjustors and not as ascenders, as far as I know.
