  • Spring-loaded stainless-steel cam opens wide for rope insertion; thumb-controlled lever offers one-thumb operation during ascension
  • Locking mechanism locks cam in either the open or closed position; engages and disengages with index finger via the cam trigger
  • Includes upper and lower carabiner clip-in points; thumb bump at top assists when descending short distances
  • Available in left- and right-handed versions, color-coded for easy recognition
  • Ergonomic polyethylene-coated grip provides a sure hold, even with heavy gloves; keeps hands from freezing and sticking in cold weather

Good Features
 The 4 bar system does not only increase grip it also saves the rope - think about it - it would work even without the little spikes.

Bad Features
 You got a small hand, you got a bit of a problem.

From US Outdoor Store:
Giving you the best grip for jugging icy, muddy ropes, the nForce ascender generates more clamping force than conventional designs. It uses a four-bar linkage that drives your body weight into the rope and fast cam manipulation is achieved by using the thumb, trigger finger or the edge of the frame. The grip accomodates gloves, and a 360?-degree biner clip-in point allows full rotation of locking biners.
