Small light, cheaper than other ascenders.

I agree with everything Marks said, and have heard from more than a few friends that it will shred your rope if you are at all "off" with it...
Recommended Alternatives
Ascenders, Prussiks, autoblocking belay devices |

It's light.

Though this might originally look like a great tool I would buy a Reverso, learn how to use it as an emergency ascender and save your self the 25 bucks. Improvised prussics work great as well.
Recommended Alternatives
Reverso or prussics. |

Was this useful? Yes | No This ultralight, multi-purpose rope grab is an ideal back-up for standard ascenders or for those who wish to travel as light as possible - Much lighter and more compact than standard ascenders, plus faster to set up than prusik knots and works well in pulley systems
- Tibloc should be used only with carabiners made of uniform oval or round stock in order to prevent damage to the rope
- Caution: hot-forged carabiners with T-shaped stock, such as the Petzl Spirit, should NOT be used
- The Tibloc is an amazing little tool when used properly, but can easily be misused; it is essential to read the instructions to prevent rope damage!
- Please Note: Petzl products can only be shipped to US addresses
