Non CE certified foot ascenders.

[Mark Wileman]

Would I be right in thinking that because foot ascenders are not life support they don't need to be CE approved?

 

Seen a few from China and the like that seem to mirror the petzl range for 1/4 of the price...

 

... then again it might be cheaper to buy a decent one and not trash my rope...

They may be made from the highest quality chinesium!

 

Just buy the petzl or ct.

The CT is better than the Petzl.

Not a lot to spend for such a vital piece of kit.

the name brands aren't that expensive and they pretty much last forever, or until they get lost

By All Means, the CT Foot Ascender, is worth every cent! I've never had a problem with them, said I've never damaged a rope with them. Steer Clear of Chinesium anything! Go [emoji631], and some French!

CE = China Export

A lot of ISC, CT & Edelrid looking krabs there. I wonder if they would let you know who their Notifying Body is with respect to their CE Marked status?

 

 

Especially in regards to the wire gate climbing caribiners. [emoji848]

The snaps are exactly like Kong snaps, obviously you have to order 2000 units or something.
