Dual holes on the tie-in end all the eight to remain attached to the harness while threading the rope, preventing loss of the device in extreme conditions. The industry standard for rescue grade descenders.

Stainless Steel is desired for longer wear and corrosion resistance. Steel figure eights are ideal for training rappel situations when high cycle use is anticipated because of their resistance to grooving and excessive wear. The Black Oxide Plated Figure eight is ideal for Tactical applications. Steel figure eights do not provide as much friction as alloy aluminum figure eights and care must be taken with heavy loads and belays.
Strength 11,250 lbf/50kN
All Figure eights proof loaded to 5000 lbf/25kN
