The spring-loaded cam adjustment can be changed in seconds without tools — open the side plate, rotate the cam to the desired setting and close the device. A swing-open side frame allows fast mid-line attachment even when wearing gloves, and a push-button opening mechanism combined with a double-lock closure system gives an audible click when securely closed. The tether can be changed without altering the friction setting, letting climbers adjust their system quickly without disrupting their setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features \u0026amp;
