No one has mentioned this but I like to take a short piece of line up with me that I tie around the chair, its webbing and the mast. This seems to help cut down on the chair swinging around when you need to put some force behind the job.
I also use the chair and a product called mast mate. The Mast mate allows me to climb the mast at my own pace and take the work out of the climb for the guy on the winch. The best part is that when you get to the top you can stand up and actually be comfortably above the masthead to work.
