DMM Pivot Belay Device - The Pivot Belay Device provides safe belaying and effective stopping power whether in lead mode or hip belay. Guide plates have traditionally been difficult to operate when lowering seconds. The pivot's shackle reduces the force required to initiate the lowering and increases control over the speed at which you lower your second.
Features:
Belay device allows for controlled belay, lowering and rappelling
Pivot activates guide mode and allows for an easily controlled two-second descent
High-performance internal geometry provides better rope control
