Does this product work well on a freehanging rope? For example if Ihave already set a rope on a previously climbed area and would like to bypass it by just climbing the rope would this product be a good buy compared to traditional ascenders like the pretzl Ascension with a foot loop?

It would work for that purpose, definitely. If you need to do a lot of jugging, you'll be much happier with a more burly ascender. But if you're just climbing a rope here and there, this thing will do the trick.
