Did anyone use one of these setups yet, I was just curious to see if it would run a steelcore flipline.

I do use them. I think it is one of the best applications for Hubert's device.
As for a steel core, even a 1/2" is still very hard and I dont know if the cam would bite. Doubtfull

I use the ART on my left side. I agree with Snarf, a great tool. On the right I use a distel tied right to my d-ring for adjustment.
There's no way that a steel core would work with the ART.

I have not used it on a steel core lanyard, but I echo Tom and Frans' sentiments--the A.R.T. lanyard (called 'The Positioner') is the best device available for adjusting your lanyard.

I would like to also add that the rubber bands rapidly broke, and I never bothered to replace them. The things still work great

The red O-rings were short lived. I went to the hardware store and got some thick, black O-rings that have lasted quite a while.

What does A.R.T. stand for?

Tom- I thought that you had one on either side painted different colors?

DadF,
Are you fully recovered?
I have two work saddles so I keep the ART on the left and the right adjuster is a distel made from NE Econo Braid tied directly to the d-ring. The lanyard goes through the d so it acts like a slack tender.

Tom- I guess that my wife would say that I wasn't all there to start with so that a full recovery would be impossible to attain 
. Thanks for asking though. I haven't been up in any trees since but that's only because I was canoeing with my Scouts up in the BWCA for the last two weeks(just what I needed-a relaxing workout ) but expect to get back in the full swing of things this week. We've had over seven inches of rain locally since Friday so we are still trying to get all the ground clutter cleaned up. By the way we stayed at the Boy Scout Commissioner's (John The Handyman) house in Chippewa Falls(WI) during our trip and he gave me a business card for Harvey Kouts who is an ISA Arborist in the area. Anybody out there know him? Break times over with gotta get back to the storm cleanup.
