My I Climb (元鴻興有限公司) #660 9 mm. Rope Wrench is 55 mm. long, 105 mm. wide, 39 mm. high, and weighs 154 g.
This Rope Wrench consists of two forged aluminum alloy plates bolted together with two 10 mm. machine screws. The left-hand screw passes through an 11.8 mm. diameter, 15.9 mm. long spacer. The other screw serves as the axle for a 31 mm. diameter sheave. This sheave has a U-shaped groove turned on its circumference giving an 22 mm. central diameter. A 9.7 mm. slic pin above the roller opens for rigging.
Each side is printed with "⇑" over "UP," "iclimb®," "Made in Taiwan," and "Ø 9 mm."
The rotating sheave gives the I Climb rope wrench less holding power than a stationary bollard would.
The rope wrench was designed for arborists, not cavers and climbers. Its primary purpose is for lowering tree limbs. It also can be used as an ascender and as a descender, but I cannot recommend it to cavers or climbers for either of those purposes. I am not Tarzan, and so I should not make arboreal recommendations.

This Rope Wrench consists of two forged aluminum alloy plates bolted together with two 10 mm. machine screws. The left-hand screw passes through an 11.8 mm. diameter, 15.9 mm. long spacer. The other screw serves as the axle for a 31 mm. diameter sheave. This sheave has a U-shaped groove turned on its circumference giving an 18.5 mm. central diameter. A 9.7 mm. slic pin above the roller opens for rigging.
Each side is printed with "⇑"over "UP," "iclimb®," "Made in Taiwan," and "Ø 9 mm."
The sheave is smaller on the 11-13 mm. version than it is on the 9 mm. version. The rotating sheave gives the I Climb rope wrench less holding power than a stationary bollard would.

This I Climb (元鴻興有限公司) Rope Wrench Pulley Tether Kit contained an 11-13 mm. #600 Rope Wrench pinned to a forged tether arm, a pulley, and a locking oval carabiner. The assembled kit is 55 mm. long, 345 mm. wide, 39 mm. high, and weighs 475 g.
The tether is forged from aluminum alloy and soft anodized. It is 269 mm. long and varies in thickness and width along its curved length. There are two oval and three heart-shaped lightening holes. Protrusions on each side of the tether liking how far the rope wrench can pivot.
The tether is printed with "iclimb®" and "Made in Taiwan" on both sides.
This kit contains the hard parts needed to assemble a traditional rope wrench tether setup. Rope wrenches work better with fixed tethers than they do with improvised tethers.

This I Climb (元鴻興有限公司) Rope Wrench Pulley Tether Kit contained an 11-13 mm. #600 Rope Wrench pinned to a forged tether arm, a #659B descender, and a locking oval carabiner. The assembled kit is 55 mm. long, 345 mm. wide, 39 mm. high, and weighs 781 g.
This kit substitutes a descender for the pulley. I am not Tarzan, and do not have the experience needed to comfortably comment on the advantages and disadvantages of the two kit options.
