50KN Rescue Figure, 8 Descender Large Bent-Ear Belaying and Rappelling Gear Belay Device Climbing for Rock Climbing Peak Rescue 7075 Aluminum Alloy

Super nice figure 8! Appears strong build quality and the size is typical of the rescue 8 on other brands. I like the finish and ease of use and being aluminum, the weight is really nice. Strength is 50kn so safety should be assured. Hard to believe that it's as strong or stronger than it's steel counterpart. Functionality is as expected and this was a really great purchase.

There's obviously several different techniques/different devices that will let you tie off mid-rappel (or ascent) to do - something. This is a large "Rescue 8" designed to do just that; I frequently have to rappel down a steep (non-climbable without ropes) incline into a very deep ravine and cut/trim trees/vegetation. A rescue 8 lets you tie off and move laterally - with your hands free. I weigh around 180lbs; with gear/chainsaw maybe 200 lbs; no issues whatsoever. Taught the kids to rappel with it - simple to rig and simple to instruct how to rig. Lightweight, clips on the harness when I'm using an ascender or off rope. Works well with 8-10mm static rope and 7/16" military (dynamic) rope. I have a smaller one in the rescue backpack. I've dinged it up a few times but just smooth the burrs off with emery cloth - so do remember to check it before you use it - it's soft aluminum and will get burrs - which will wear your ropes prematurely. Good piece of kit.

Good & Strong Tool.

Good product for the money

A rope decender with ears to reduce attachment errors. Easy to attach and can be used in multiple ways. Always consult a rock climbing or rescue instructor if you're not sure how to use

Very good item for everyday use and good price. Easy to use. Very functional item. Standard size.

No idea if the weight rating is accurate but it is invaluable for climbing around my roof.

Like that there is an option for a color other than black. Used them to rig an aerial hammock.
