The ATC represents a superb balance between strength and ease of use. Drop-forged from aircraft-quality aluminum alloy (7075 - T6). Its complex geometry allows it to feed rope smoothly and hold falls with ease. The extensive surface area dissipates heat easily and best of all if used properly the ATC doesn't kink your rope. Weight: 50 gms (1.8 oz). Strength: 24 kN. Designed for single or double 8.5 mm - 11 mm ropes. | Site | Price | Postage | Total |

General comments: I have used an ATC for years and would not consider any other device for general belay use. Its performance matches the above product description perfectly, handling beautifully in all conditions. This device does not have variable friction control like other devices… benefiting alternatively from a smooth design that is extremely easy and effortless to use both paying in and out. I have used this with single and double ropes upto 8.4mm. It’s a lot lighter than most devices on the market.
Pros: Simple clean design, very very smooth
Cons: Non that I have encountered

General comments: I regularly use my climbing partners instead of my belay and i have found it an all rounder, i like it better than my belay and am going to buy one, it looks cool too!
Pros: light, low friction for rappelles (probably not spelt right) and suits me as a heavier and bulkier person.
Cons: Cant think of any
