New Belay Device
Eddie Howard✓ Verified Purchase•August 27, 2023
I studied the Scarab intensely before purchase and found fellow Firefighters and Rescuers were amazed at their positive and enthusiastic reviews. I bought the Contreras Scarab and first tried the device out. My first repel was impressive and each repel afterwards were even more enjoyable. The device became second nature and easy to employ even with a double rope repel. The construction is incredible and durable. The design is unique. It was tested with a mile of rope pulled through the device and the temperature of the device was less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
well built

Not much to say. I use it for training and it works great.
Tool due to its weight, best for topside belay. Outstanding quality. Consider Titanium model if weight is a concern.

Great descender!

Great descender! I only had one chance to try it, but got in love with this device from the first touch. On short pitches I prefer to use my gri-gris instead, but on relatively long descents this guy will be much better. It's not so bulky as any of racks and works fine with heavy loads.
It's super easy to go hands free if you need to

I haven't used it a lot yet but I'm not sure what to say negative about it. It's super easy to go hands free if you need to. The only thing I don't like is that I'm used to a grigri and I'm used to using that as my ascending device. I'm going to have to get a different way to climb if I use this as my descender.
