Fusion Climb Aluminum Descender - Figure 8 Descender Black

Great Product AAAAA++++

There are many versions of the figure 8 descender these days, some with ears, and some with very complicated methods of locking off, but this is the classic design I am used to. Figure 8 descenders are great way to rappel, and regardless of whether you're self rappelling or conducting a rescue rappel, this device will work just fine. This is light enough to keep on a carabiner, and it is very sturdy for one person or a two person rappel. Of course, you should know how to use one of these before you start to make your descent. I highly recommend taking a course on rappelling before buying one and descend into a cavern or what not (because the other thing you may need to do is ascend or figure out how to retrieve your rope). I have used this with and without a prussik knot, depending on how fast I want to rappel and what the distance of the descent is (remember rappelling 200 feet down too fast can heat up using the wrong mode to rappel with these types of devices). And the prussik knot helps with lock offs in case you want to hang to do things like locking off better to take a picture or whatever it might be. In summary, this is a very smooth, fairly lightweight figure 8 device I keep in my arsenal for descending or rappelling, and it should last a long time with proper use and maintenance. And the price is right. Hope this helps.

Good quality at a great price

Great product! Great price!

Had to take a star off because they probably shouldn't even make these anymore. If cord walks you're stranded and will need to be rescued, so my advice is to buy the rescue 8, what my instructor was using when he rescued me. Fins on Rescue 8 prevent the cord from locking up. Still lightweight, very solid and inexpensive but makes as much sense as buying old rope after 550 paracord was invented.

Have two of these, exact same. Used for regular rappel and a lot of high friction speed rappelling. Size 8 rope up to 11. Out of a dozen devices in my bag from multiple companies this is my go to especially for quicker descents. I beat this thing up over the past 3 years and it's still good to go.

I use this for fiber cables when I need to get them tight above a door way and Gaff Tape won't do. I also use it for when I am a camera op for games and so if the cable gets pulled, it pulls the Figure 8 and not the SMPTE/fiber attached to the camera. I wouldn't say this is a must have for cam ops, but it sure is nice if you have the space in your bag for 1 or 2 of them.
