Product information & specifications
DMM Tryggr Thimble - Retrievable Choking Anchor - EN 795:2012 Type B - 15 cm
The DMM Tryggr Thimble (product code RPC65-2T-BWG-15) is a compact, retrievable choking anchor designed for stationary rope systems (SRS) and work positioning on vertical stems. At just 138g and 15 cm in length, it is one of the smallest certified retrieval anchors available — covering the widest range of anchor point diameters in a form compact enough to install and retrieve without leaving the ground. The bespoke 6.5mm polyester cord is threaded through two stainless steel thimbles, isolating the climbing rope from the anchor cord to eliminate rope-on-cord friction and protect both from accelerated wear. Certified to EN 795:2012 Type B and rated for two-person rescue loads under PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 (combined max user weight 300 kg), it is suitable for both standard work positioning and rescue applications. Supplied with one small DMM retrieval cone. Available from Gustharts, an authorised DMM dealer, with UK stock.
DMM is a Welsh manufacturer of professional climbing, rigging and work-at-height hardware, based in Llanberis in the heart of Snowdonia. Founded in 1981, DMM is widely regarded as the benchmark brand for precision-made carabiners, rigging plates, pulleys and anchors across UK and European arboriculture, rope access and rescue.
Key Features
- Retrievable from the ground — the Tryggr design allows the anchor to be installed and retrieved without the climber leaving the ground or ascending to the anchor; pull via cord or included retrieval cone
- 15 cm length, 138g — the most compact configuration in the Tryggr range; works across the widest range of anchor diameters
- Stainless steel thimbles protect your rope — cord runs through DMM's original stainless steel thimbles at the load point; the thimbles isolate the rope from the anchor cord, eliminating rope-on-cord contact friction and extending the life of both
- 6.5mm bespoke polyester cord — UV and abrasion resistant; resin-coated stitch for additional wear protection; proven for long-term performance in outdoor environments
- Flexible construction — the cord body conforms to the structure of the anchor point rather than holding a rigid form, enabling secure basket positioning on irregular stems and branches
- Cord equalises through the thimbles — optimised load distribution under tension for consistent, low-friction operation
- Laser marked hardware — durable identification markings on the thimbles, including a retrieval indicator for correct orientation during ground-based retrieval
- EN 795:2012 Type B certified — anchor device standard for PPE used in personal fall protection, restraint and work positioning systems
- PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 rated — 300 kg two-person capacity — suitable for rescue operations with two persons simultaneously connected
- One small retrieval cone included — DMM's purpose-made retrieval tool for ground-based anchor recovery

Understanding the Certifications
EN 795:2012 Type B is the European standard for anchor devices used in personal fall protection systems, restraint and work positioning. Type B specifically covers non-structural, flexible anchors — devices that achieve their anchor function through flexible elements (such as cord loops) rather than rigid hardware attached to a fixed structure. For the Tryggr Thimble, Type B certification confirms the device is tested as a PPE anchor component in basket configuration. The original EN 795:1996 standard has been superseded by EN 795:2012 — the Tryggr Thimble is certified to the current 2012 version.
PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 is the standard for rescue-rated PPE for two-person use. Certification under this standard means the Tryggr Thimble has been tested for the additional loads imposed when two persons are connected simultaneously — relevant for rescue operations where both rescuer and casualty may be attached to the same anchor system. The 300 kg maximum user weight rating applies to this two-person rescue configuration.
Tryggr Thimble vs Tryggr Thimble Vario - Which Do You Need?
Both are retrievable choking anchors using the same 6.5mm polyester cord and stainless thimble construction. The choice is determined by the range of anchor point diameters you work with.
| Feature | Tryggr Thimble (this product) | Tryggr Thimble Vario |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 15 cm — fixed | 70, 90, 130 or 250 cm — selected at purchase |
| Weight | 138g | 266g (70 cm) to 486g (250 cm) |
| Adjustable | No — compact, single-purpose length | Yes — Vario loop adjusts within the chosen length |
| Anchor range | Widest range — very small diameter anchors | Larger diameter anchors and structures |
| Colour | Black / White / Grey | Orange / Pink |
| Max user weight | 300 kg (two-person rescue) | 300 kg (two-person rescue) |
| Standards | EN 795:2012 Type B; PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 | EN 795:2012 Type B; PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 |
| Best for | SRS/SRT on typical-diameter trees; maximum portability; tightest anchor geometry | Larger diameter trees, structures and posts; versatile configurations across different anchor sizes |
For most UK arborist SRS work on standard-diameter trees, the compact 15 cm Tryggr Thimble is the correct choice — lighter, more compact and covering the widest range of anchor diameters. If you regularly work on larger-diameter stems or need longer anchor loop configurations for your system geometry, the Tryggr Thimble Vario gives you the additional length in the same construction. See the Tryggr Thimble Vario here.
Also Known As
The DMM Tryggr Thimble is also referred to as a retrievable anchor, choking anchor, SRS anchor, ground-retrievable anchor, friction saver (though it functions differently from a standard friction saver), rigging thimble anchor and tree anchor. For ordering, reference product code RPC65-2T-BWG-15 for the standard 15 cm Tryggr Thimble.

FAQs
What is a retrievable choking anchor and how does the Tryggr work?
A choking anchor loops around the anchor point (tree stem or branch) and tightens under load. The Tryggr is retrievable because after the climb, a ground-based cord pull (or the included retrieval cone) allows the anchor to be collapsed and pulled down without the climber returning to it.
Why does the Tryggr use thimbles rather than a standard loop?
The stainless steel thimbles create a smooth, hard surface at the point where the climbing rope contacts the anchor. This isolates the rope from the anchor cord — eliminating rope-on-cord friction that would wear both under load. The thimbles also allow the cord to equalise under tension for consistent loading geometry.
What does EN 795:2012 Type B mean for this anchor?
EN 795:2012 is the current standard for anchor devices used in personal fall protection, work positioning and restraint. Type B covers flexible, non-structural anchors — devices that function through flexible cord or textile rather than rigid hardware fixed to a structure. The Tryggr Thimble is certified to this standard in basket configuration.
Is the Tryggr Thimble suitable for rescue operations?
Yes. PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 certification confirms it is rated for two-person rescue loads up to a combined 300 kg — covering both rescuer and casualty simultaneously connected to the same anchor point.
What is the difference between the Tryggr Thimble and the Tryggr Thimble Vario?
The standard Tryggr Thimble is 15 cm and fixed — the most compact option for tight anchor geometry on typical diameter trees. The Vario is available in four longer lengths (70–250 cm) with an adjustable loop for larger diameter anchor points. See the comparison table above.
