Product Details
Description:
Designed specifically for rescue work, the Rescue 8 belay device by BlueWater features 2 side prongs that prevent an unloaded rope from slipping over the sides of the device and forming a girth hitch. Don't worry about toasty hands while belaying - an extra-large design dissipates heat while providing extra control.

Features:

  • Tie off the rappel easily thanks to the side prongs while you make double use of the carabiner hole as a belay plate
  • Expect lasting strength season after season with the forged and double anodized steel construction that resists rust and corrosion

Specifications:

  • Weight: 7.4 ounces
  • Strength 37.9 kN


Designed for use only with ropes 1/2 inch and larger

My favorite 8-ring.
By LawsonVerified Reviewer from Albertville, AL on 10/18/2006
Pros:
Simple
Best Uses:
Outdoor climbing

Comments about BlueWater Ropes Inc Rescue 8 Belay Device:

I absolutely love it. The dog ears allow you to tie yourself off only using one hand, great feature. The 8 also has a belay device that most people don't realize, so when you get off the rope you can be the switch right to the belay. The only con(not a issue for me) is that after heavy use the rope will rub the paint off. I think it gives it that worn look, and besides, all 8 rings do that so who cares. Thanks
