Swivel vs rotor?

Hi!

I apologize if this is a silly question... but I've come across this "swivel+carabiner" called rotor and I was thinking if anyone has tried using this for hauling in a bigwall (instead of the usual petzl swivel or similar).

An immediate advantage is that this costs ~13€ [in Spain, where I live] while the petzl swivel alone costs ~30€...

It has a maximum load of 780g.

780kg are about 7.6kN it's not the usual 24...but more than enough for a static load. A 100kg hauling bag would be ~1kN...even bouncing or whatever it's hard to go over 2kN...

Do you think it's a hard no-go??

The Petzl has a max load of 5 KN from the tech data and the Grivel has a max load if 7.6 KN from the website.  Grivel lists the max load and Petzl lists the breaking strength on the web site.

I wouldn’t think twice for hauling.  Seems fit for intended use.

 Let the guys below you worry about the specs 

Can't believe no one has mentioned this, the Grivel won't have bearings, so it won't be able to twist effectively under load like the petzl swivel, it also just looks kinda like a bould has been used for the Grivel which if weighted and rotated could break the (what I imagine is) threadlock. 

I'm pretty certain the Grivel does have bearings. It feels like a ball bearing to me

This is the tiny carabiner for attaching tethers to ice tools, right?

Yes, it's the same biner as the one used on the Grivel tethers. This biner is strong enough for an haul bag and it's affordable but there is a better swivel on the market.
