    Great value for money.

    I probably still prefer a grigri for quickly dumping lots of slack but this is small light and smooth. The lowering takes a little bit of getting used to but that's probably only a problem if you expect it to feel the same as a grigri.

    Excellent for lead belay

    Very good overall experience. Great for lead belay as less grabby than a grigri, you don't need the thumb trick. Catches as well. lighter, by a little. definitely more compact. Only negative is that the release handle has a short throw so the lower is quite sensitive. I would be hesitant to put a beginner on this straight away, but this is only a minor con.

    Great stuff

    Combines my favourite aspects of an atc and the gri gri. Safe, feeds very nicely.

    Work Use with the Lifeguard

    My adventure business has been testing these for the past few months. We find them ideal for experienced belayers but not as "safe" as a Grigri for student or novice belayers. They require considerably more effort and focus to provide brake force but paying out rope is far easier when required. We back up student belayers with seconds on shunts as you can not rely on a trainee to arrest a fall. The Grigri arrests falls much quicker and with less effort (but still always with backup brake). A very good and very cheap device in the right hands and very usable for teaching belaying with a backup belayer on a brake for commercial use.
