Climbing Rope Grab, High Strength Self Locking Safety Protective, Climbing Ascender Fall Protection Belay Device Climbing Rope Grip Clamp for Rock Climbing Mountaineering(Blue)

I Bought this for Tree Work but found something that worked better for that. Hope to still use it for Rock Climbing!

I have now bought 3 of these for my sons & I to use saddle hunting. They work easily & securely and are a great value! 5 Stars!!!!!

so just to be clear it does work great going up but coming down not so goodi used a repelling lanyard on top of this for descent

The QKDS ascender is well made and does not damage your when loaded. It is fairly versatile because it is rated for 8 to 13 mm ropes. The ascender uses a ribbed cam to grab the rope, so there are no sharp surfaces to tear the outer sheath of a rope. Understand that the manufacturer has not received UIAA certification. Also, never use this device as a stand-alone rescue ascender. Always use a hollow block or secondary ascender as a backup device for redundancy in any situation while ascending. My only concern with this device is the possibility of a defect being discovered at some date in the future; would the manufacturer issue a recall on this product? I have no answer for this.

Works very good for a flip line adjuster. I'm happy with it and will be getting a couple more here very soon

Works well with 3/16" rope. When the rope is thicker the cam did not lock down very tight.

So I got this to swap out my prussec knot on my linesman belt for hanging a tree stand. While im not a climbing expert I can tell you this particular item isnt meant for that. I felt very unsafe and really didnt work. I would spend more money on a reputable piece of climbing equipment. They are out there for not much more.

Good quality and worked well.
