<b>The super simplicity of a Tyrap / Tie-Wrap translated to use with a rope.</b>

Ever hung up a washingline or something else hanging from a tree on vacation? Always that fiddling with tying the rope and untying it again at the end of the holiday? Not anymore! With this handy tool you can hang a tensioned line in seconds and remove it just as easily!

Detaching is even easier, just push the lever the other way to release and pull out the rope. Once tensioned the lever stays in place. The rope only comes loose when pushing the rope back or pushing the lever.

This model is designed for rope of 4-6mm in diameter.

Printed in both PLA and PETG with 0.4 nozzle - 0.2 layer - 15-30% infill.

I've also added a basic hook, for hanging stuff. (Use less heavy loads than with a loop of rope!)
