This is a new device I have invented

And it works, and people who have it really love it.

Looks interesting and well made. How does one string and unstring while both hands are occupied on the pull up handles?

There are two lock-in-place Rope Ratchets, that have release catches on them. Once it is locked in place you can do all kinds of things, like reserve the string, replace the string, etc.

You can quickly break the CB down for storage or maintenance.

I am coming out with one for compound CBs and pistol types also.

looks easy to use how do you release the presssure after you take the string off?

On the ratchet pulley, there is a release catch that you just operate with your thumb or finger. I usually take the pressure off of it by either pulling back on an installed string, or if there is no string, you pull back on one of the handles until you can operate the release. Then you just let the tension off of the limbs and remove the ReStringer.
