This review is from: Alta Industries 2533-U Nailers Fall Protection Compliance Kit (Tools & Hardware)

I purchased this from Amazon and really feel it's a great deal for the money. I've used it extensivly and it works very good. You really feel safe on the roof or anywhere it's used, IF used properly. You must use it properly for your saftey. It comes complete with all you probley would need. You must read the instructions carefully and secure it properly for safe use. It's a must for getting on your roof and is a VERY good value for the money. Your life depends on this item and everyone should use one if on a roof properly. Get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Does the trick safety set up, January 29, 2007

Nice, simple system for roof safety, I feel much safer on my steep roof slopes for service work, I permanently installed a double sided peak ridge anchor to always be able to lock in safely for house service work. It all fits back in the bag, the harness strapping can be a little confusing at first but I figured it out quickly, the ascender works smoothly & the price is good - I feel confident enough to use it in lean back rappeling position!

The fall protection kit worked great. I have an extremely steep roof. I haven't done any roofing in about ten years, and I've never before worked on a roof so steep that I felt the need for a rope and harness. I felt completely secure up there... that is, after I figured out how it all worked.

The instructions are, at the same time, overly complicated and missing basic information. The complication is mainly due to required liability, legal mumbo-jumbo. The lack of clear cut basic information is just wrong. Other than following the pictures on the box there was nothing indicating which way the shock-absorbing lanyard should attach and very little on how the harness works. Those aren't the biggest issues, though. The proper use of the actual fall-arresting ascender is more of a problem. It needs to be noted that your weight cannot be on the device while down-climbing. If you pull on the device itself, it will slip down the rope. This may be obvious to those who have used these before, but not to the uninitiated. Pulling on the rope is fine, and necessary; the device will hold. Grab the body of the device on the way down and it comes with you. Hold the rope, not the device. Be careful.

I tested out the whole system hanging barely above the ground before going onto the roof. So, I sorted out these issues before they could have been dangerous.

If you've never worked on roofs or done climbing with ropes, I would not recommend this package. Instead, get a pro to do the work. Too many serious accidents occur to take the risk.
