I love this thing... since it's strong stainless and heavy i use it as a lowering/friction device in-lew of a portable wrap or other "overkill" option. I'm in Colorado all these trees are tiny..great device, quick to set up and teach to the ground guys...

At 1st glance it looks nice, but when you put it in your hands. That's when you will notice how solid and heavy-duty it is. I think it will hold up to whatever pace you put it through.

While it may weigh more than a stock aluminum, having a steel fig 8 on the line is far safer and this descender is working so well, I don't mind the extra weight at all. It is good steel, made in the USA (according to the label). Came quickly and in excellent condition, and it works like a dream. Recommend if you need one.

I like the idea that I can use this for my tree trimming to help keep me safe but also planning to use it for my 4 wheeler (atv) as a tool to get me out if I get stuck where I think it will come in handy if I need two leverage points to anchor to. It looks and feels like it can handle just about anything.

Pro’s: can hold a tank!Con’s: heavy!If this is something that you are going to hook to your harness and not use much get an aluminum one.If you are rescue or law enforcement practicing then this is a good one!

I had originally bought a cheaper steel rescue 8 but was unaware of the cancer causing material they used (reference the photos).Spending a few coin more on U.S. Rigging supplies steel rescue eight was the right choice. It's sturdy, solid, and polished like a granite countertop. I have full confidence in this piece of equipment. I've always preferred steel to aluminum, though both have their pros and cons. I don't mind relinquishing heat reduction over durability and longevity. Id recommend it.

I am an arborist and this is great on the ground but very heavy to carry in the tree when climbing. It is quite large but still great product.

This thing is solid and worked perfectly. I went with this legit one over the no-name versions from the far East since it was going to be me hanging from it. Great quality, heavy and sturdy. The added hooks allow you to lock in which worked perfectly for my tree climbing needs.
