CRICKET - The new, innovative tensioning Device
Our new invention, the CRICKET is a complete refresh in tensioning!
By mixing a classic ratchet system with a pulley and linegrip system, we made an easy way to rig and tension any 20-25mm slackline.
A quick & easy one-person job
The CRICKET will often be quicker than having to repeatedly reset your pulley system. This device and its setup is much easier to check by less experienced users and is able to be used by only one person.
Its initial invention came from one of our best freestyle highline athletes, with the intention to create something for solo training sessions, where most times they were alone and didn't have all day - Strong, quick, and not too heavy; the perfect "one-man-job".
Repeatedly tensioning with a big pulley set-up can be time consuming; here is your solution!
Especially good for Permarigged Freestyle lines and or beginner lines or where many changes of tension are a common demand.
Like a HUMMER RATCHET with more, but super compact
The CRICKET device combines several pieces of gear so that we don't have to think about carrying them with us, unlike remembering gear for a pulley or buckingham system.
The CRICKET includes:
- 1x HUMMER RATCHET as base
- 1x integrated micro weblock
- 85cm webbing sling of JOKER webbing
- 1x sewn loop
In order to use the CRICKET you need the following gear (not included):
And for 100% ease for detensioning with the CRICKET :
- 1x SOFT RELEASE
Can I set up a 70 m Longline with the 85cm sling of my CRICKET system?
YES, our CRICKET allows you to rig all sorts of lines!
It uses an automatic ravelling process inside the main weblock. You can restart the tensioning process as many times as you want; just reset as soon as you reach the end of your 85cm long webbing sling.
An easy click opens the ratchet (and no, it doesn't jump), a quick pull, and the linegrip can be pushed out again. Just like with any pulley system.

A tensioning device... and a de-tensioning one!
The CRICKET is versitile! You just need a SOFT RELEASE, and the de-tensioning process becomes easy and quick.
The SOFT RELEASE doesn't even need to be integrated into your set-up from the beginning (soft pointing), it can be easily attached to an extra spanset or sling just below the mainline, independently of your anchor set-up, by attaching it to the CRICKETS WEBLOCK.
Attach your linegrip, click 2-3 times with your handle, release the mainline from your weblock and then open and use your SOFT RELEASE just as usually.
WARNING
The CRICKET includes the tensioning device only. If you wish to be fully equipped with the complete kit, please follow the links of our MOUSEGRIP and SOFT RELEASE in the short description.
If your handle clicking becomes too difficult to be advanced by yourself, it is because your line is already under very high tension. DO NOT force the handle of the ratchet to click more by using any additional leverage or outer force. You have reached the maximum capacity of the ratchet. Any other usage could lead to damaging the whole device or breaking it completly.
Please use the CRICKET as per manufacturer's recommendations and do not exceed the recommended load of the device while in use.
