that's funny i swear i saw a video of the ascender in question being repeatedly drop tested with a 100kg mass on a static lanyard with a fall distance of 2m with no visible damage to the ascender what so ever! that goes way beyond what they have to withstand for their bsen & ce mark! Don't slate a product that you clearly know very little about, there's no need.

but mr squirrel its not life support, just a climbing aid. these ascenders are old, they've popped off a number of times due to their lack of safety measures, this however makes them simpler to take on and off. the wrench/lj catches me every time, not that it happens much if at all anymore

yes explorer arb that is the same product, but i dont believe its a question of its strength. in where its faults lie. its an aptly strong piece of kit. it just will pop off if ascended at strange angles or where you reach the point of rope divide at your anchor, hence why its design was revised and it was banned to climb on without back up. had mine 9 years now still bomb proof. still non the wiser to why it glows in the dark

I'm guessing if you dropped it in a dark cave , it would be easier to find .
