    I’ve used this product maybe half a dozen times now, I definitely prefer it to a grigri(the only other autolocker I’ve used). It’s much smaller and lighter, bites faster and harder, and on a bigger variety of rope sizes.
    Others have said its difficult to lower with – it can be – until you get the hang of it, but once you do, it’s great.

    The first few times I used this device it was great, and worked just as well as all the other reviews said it would. However, it only takes one failure to ruin your day, so do not buy this device. If used with a rope that is separating form it’s sheath (note- don’t ever knowingly climb on a rope that is like this, but it sometimes happens top-roping at gyms where it’s not feasible to examine the whole rope before you climb) it can jam, leaving you unable to let your climbing partner down. This can in turn force you to take both hand off your belay device to fix the problem, something that should NEVER happen, even with auto-lockers. While there were no injuries when I had this problem, if it happened at the crag rather than the gym it would have been nearly impossible to belay my partner down safely without additional equipment.

    TL;DR
    unsafe with old ropes, spend the extra on a grigri for peace of mind

    Great safe way to belay. Lowering and giving slack is a little tricky though. It takes some practice to lower quickly and smoothly.

    very good performance. lighter and cheaper than petzl gri-gri.
    good for belaying a leader or a second from the top. gives you an amazing control while rappeling.

    This new autolocking belay device by Trango is great. It lessens the chance of misuse. It’s has good design, smooth feeding, gives a dynamic belay, and is light enough to carry up multi-pitch routes. It takes a little getting use to, but it’s really easy when used correctly. It’s lighter, cheaper, and has more features than the Gri Gri, making it a no brainer.
