I'm curious how you use these. Clip both onto the jack line or other
terminal at the same time so you can move the short one while leaving the
long one attached and vice versa?

I'll typically clip the long one to a jack line if I'm on the move,
and clip on with the short one if I'm staying put somewhere.

It's important to have a padeye near the companionway hatch so you can
clip on before going out.
