Have you tried the snubber with the grip? Neat idea, just wondering if it might kink the wire rope.
Ah, I think I see what you're getting at now. Curiously my Klein Havens 1625-20 (working load 8K lbs) has radiused edges, but the ones I see online are squared off. I really don't know what the permanent effect would be on the wire (21,400 breaking strength) of using it. In my mind it's just something to have in my kit if I end up in a situation where surge is straightening out my entire rode and threatening to dislodge the anchor or damage my deck equipment. I love the latch that lets me add or remove it any point.Oh, I know, I've used them to reave cranes and pull cable. Sometimes they crimp on pretty tight though. I've never tried a prussik or klemheist on a wire rope, I suspect they would just slip, not sure what the alternative would be. I like the outside of the yacht box thinking though.
