Petzl RIG Compact Self Braking Descender

Designed for expert rope access work. The multi-functional handle allows the user to unblock the rope and control the descent with the hand on the free end of the rope and position themselves while on the rope without tying off the device. The automatic return system on the handle limits risks in case of an involuntary action by the user. The handle storage position reduces the risk of snagging when the descender is being carried on the harness. The safety gate on the moving side plate helps prevent dropping the device and eases installation of the rope and passing intermediate anchors. As the pivoting cam can take up the slack in the rope is can also be used to make a reversible haul system, and for short ascents in conjunction with Petzl's FOOTPRO foot loop and and their ASCENSION handled rope clamp.
