I think that it's a bad idea. Why wouldn't you just do it the normal way?

And what is the normal way? Just use a frost knot or sewn loop? Linelocks are no doubt completely bomber, just as secure as any webbing knot. But linelockers seem to come with the advantage that they do not decrease the strength of the webbing like a knot would (although thats still theory until someone tests it). I think his idea is solid, its simple and bomber. I doubt that ATC is going to fail. So whats the problem with his idea?

Linelockers are bomber and have been tested. The normal way is to wrap the webbing around a 1/2 inch rap ring. Unlike a round rap ring, the ATC has sharp angles, putting more stress on a smaller area of the webbing in the linelocker.

Or are you referring to a different sharp edge somewhere else?

but why use something that hasn't been tested for a job it isn't designed to do, when you have something that has for much cheaper (aka a rap ring)?
