Cred: 2509 | | lightweight, fantastic price, and indispensible for emergencies. No matter what the route, i keep this little guy and a prussic loop with me. |
| this is a very touchy item. Works well, but in an emergency your mind might be elsewhere, and if you don't operate it properly it can shred a rope sheath pretty bad. |
| full on ascenders, prussics or autoblocking belay device |

| 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. |

| 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... |
| Ascenders, Prussiks, autoblocking belay devices |

| Small, lightweight, Wonderful product for mt rescue when looking for lightweight backup gear and you don't want to rely on a prusik knot with icy rope |
| Easy to loose, sharp teeth causes rope to fray over multiple uses |
|
Cred: 2643 | | Good for Emergencies, or pothole escape while canyoneering. |
| Shouldn't be used accept in an emergency. The teeth have been known to rip through the sheath and damage the core of the rope. They arent very easy to use either. |
|
Cred: 601 | | Nice to have in a pinch. Stays fast & easy to move. Small & light, easily fits on a carabiner with a sling for a quick rescue kit. |
| If used improperly the tibloc shreds rope. |
|
Cred: 201 | | Works better than a prussik loop and doesn't weigh much |
| Needs setting on the rope carefully or the sheath gets tatty |
|
Cred: 12 | | Excellent light weight piece of gear to have on any serious limbers belt. Clip it to your belt with the DMM Revolver for two great pieces of rescue gear. |
| Hey Durnin113
I have seen that happen with the Tibloc.
You have be careful that it is well set into the fibers on the sheath before you load it. I found the best way to achieve this is to make sure you have a good locking carabiner in the slot. |
|
Cred: 497 | | hard to use, you have to entirely take off the carabiner to detach |
