Other uses

Mariner's Hitch
A mariner's hitch can be formed from a bight of Web-o-lette formed using an overhand knot. The mariner's hitch releases under load.

Friction Hitch
Tie a friction hitch (Kleimheist) using an eye of the Web-o-lette. This friction hitch can be used for self-rescue.

3:1 Z-Pulley
With four biners you can create a 3:1 weight-assisted Z-pulley. Each pair of biners is linked and arranged to minimize friction.

NOTE: Although a Web-o-lette looks like a "rabbit runner", Mountain Tools does not recommend that configuration, and suggests that climbers use regular sewn runners or quickdraws, which have twice as many load bearing members.
