I've had very good experience with larger rope grips using the same 
3-ball system, which gives a very firm hold on a 3-twist rope. They 
really are superb... but they are also 50% bigger than the ones we're 
talking about here, all metal and built to NATO specs.

The same grips made to 'home hardware specifications' could have several 
points of failure, starting probably with the bent wire bail. Would 
anyone in the USA care to try a destructive test?
