## Description

SOB Rescue Figure 8 Descender Belaying Belay Device Rock Climbing Rappelling Gear Aluminum Magnesium Alloy for Climbing,High Rescue,Mountaineering

## Features

- 【Excellent Braking Effect】 Figure 8 descender uses the friction force generated between itself and the rope to brake, which can effectively slow down the descent speed and avoid some accidents due to too fast descent. Different winding methods correspond to different scenes.
- 【Bent Ear Upgrade】 After optimization on the basis of the traditional rescue figure 8, it can be fixed at a certain height during high-altitude operations, and the rope can be passed through the middle ring and wound on the bent ear, which can achieve the effect of hanging in the air.
- 【More Effective Use】 8-13mm diameter single rope / double rope can be used, the small hole can be used as a protective plate when the auxiliary rope is lifted and transported, and the bent ear part can more effectively control the descent speed when two people are rescued. Can be used as a rope stopping point for aerial stop.
- 【High Strength Quality】 Made of aluminum-magnesium alloy material, forging process, breaking load 40KN (8818lb), middle thickening design, with high-strength torsion resistance, more durable, oxidation-resistant and prolonged service life. Size: 6.7inch(17cm)x6.7inch(17cm); Weight: 284g / 10oz, Large hole diameter: 2.17inch(5.5cm) Small hole diameter: 1.54inch(3.9cm)
- 【Scope of Application】 The descent protector can be used for climbing, rappelling, mountaineering, rock climbing, rescue, high-altitude operations and other scenarios. It is lightweight, convenient and easy to use, and can protect your safety in more areas.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for rope rescue
*by R***3 on June 16, 2025*

Perfect for rope rescue. Design is prefect n hard heavy duty made

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great but there are better Resecue Descenders out there
*by B***E on September 24, 2024*

Love the price and this does everything it is designed to do.I love how thick and hardy it is. Lots of confidence in the device.HOWEVER - takes a lot of skill to wrap into the lock-off arms. You have to let off the brake to wrap up around the arms. That's hard to do under body weight. After some practice a few feet off the ground I mastered it - but it took a lot of strength and speed to throw a wrap around the arm before slipping.So - just a cautionary tale - you don't want to be midway down a cliff trying to figure this thing out. It looks obvious how to use it and I'm fairly experienced - but it humbled me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It has no certification but it is durable.
*by J***L on February 12, 2025*

This is used for climbing and has been put to the test and remains intact.
