Abigail ★★★★★

Clipped it onto my harness for a canyon rescue drill and forgot it was even there until I needed it. The way the carabiner gets pressed automatically against the rope makes one-handed setup actually workable, which saved me a lot of fumbling mid-air. Feels solid for something this light.

Samuel E. ★★★★★

The automatic cam mechanism engages the rope instantly with barely any weight in my pack, which makes it a breeze to use for quick haul setups. I’ve swapped it in for my usual friction hitch on practice rescues and it holds rock solid every time.

Henry ★★★★★

Took it out for a self-rescue drill on a buddy’s anchor setup, and the auto-camming action against the carabiner was smooth and locked right away. It’s ridiculously light on the harness, barely notice it’s there until you need it.
