Good Features
 Good for short drops, like 100 feet or so. When I'm hanging completely, I can usually come to a complete stop. You can easily tie it off to come to a complete, non slowly slipping, stop. Easy to rig. Fireman's belay still works with this piece.

Bad Features
 I do find that when I don't have all my weight on the rope (like I have my feet against the wall or what not) that this guy slowly lets out rope. I haven't seen (because I don't let new users borrow this piece) but i have heard of new users panicking and griping the device tightly, then falling (because they are depressing the handle, which makes you go down)... so not for the casual user.

Recommended Alternatives
 Kong makes a piece with an antipanic mode. If the user presses down too hard, it locks up. SRT (out of australia) makes a version that can come to a complete, legit stop, no matter what posistion you are in... which is nice, but those are REALLY hard to find in the states.
