The key is static load. The device can withstand higher static loads to about 6kN (1350lbs), but any dynamic load applied from 4kN (900lbs) to 6kN even for a millionth of a second will eat your rope to shreds. The general rule is toothed cam devices eat rope at 4kN (900lbs), so don't use it as a rope grab, fall arrester, or progress capture unless you really know what your doing. The EN12841 type B standard tests show that it will handle dynamic loads over 4kN (900lbs), but it becomes very depended on what type / age of rope is used. Its a hand ascender for body weight (static loads), if your using it for something else consider another device. **Q: Where is it made in?** A: Petzl manufactures in France. **Q: Is this a practical solution for hanging my kids' rope swing to make it easily height-adjustable? Indoor use. 10.5 mm static rope.** A: No it's intention is too ascend rope, I see what your thinking but eventually the rope its hanging unto not the actual swings rope but what its holding would fail from being used in a fixed position. **Q: What diameter rope is this for? ca i use it with 12-strand arborist climbing rope, 1/2" by 150' blue ox rope?** A: It will accept 8mm to 13mm rope - Arborist rope will be fine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Legit petzle no issues *by K***N on September 27, 2025* It’s scary purchasing things online but this item i wasn’t planning on using to support myself but it’s a good backup have used it a lot seems quality legit petzle brand has worked great for me for years have taken through many slot canyons and deep caves ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solar Craftsperson Approved *by J***N on October 12, 2025* I work as a Solar Installer.
