I think you're talking about the little spliced-in piece of smaller line to open up the eye. If you make your soft shackle/soft shackle prusiks properly, the eye is relatively easy to open up - I think that's why we don't see cottage vendors offering the little "eye-opener" spliced in. Theirs are measured and made properly.
On Amsteel 7/64" or larger soft shackles, I definitely don't see the need. In fact, I prefer to make my Amsteel soft shackles out of 1/8" because they're easier to open.
On Zing-It 1.75 soft shackle prusiks, I also haven't found the need because it is very rare that I disconnect the soft shackle prusik from the ridgeline. In my experience, the eye only becomes hard to open after repeated opening, and I don't do that much with my soft shackle prusiks.
Thank you gentlemen. SilvrSurfr, that's what I was asking and thank you. Dutch, sorry for the confusion, but, that is also welcomed info.
Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you
Peace Dutch
