FAQs
What is the DMM Figure 8 used for?
It is primarily used for abseiling (rappelling) and for controlled lowering during rope-work activities.
Why choose a figure-eight device instead of a modern belay device?
Figure-eights offer exceptionally smooth descents, low friction start-up, simplicity and better heat dissipation on long abseils.
Is the DMM Figure 8 suitable for professional use?
Yes—its robust build and EN15151-2 certification make it ideal for instructors, rope-access technicians and rescue operators.
What rope diameters does it work with?
It works with half/twin ropes between 7.3–9.2 mm and single ropes between 8.5–11 mm.
Is it compatible with arborist climbing lines?
While primarily designed for climbing/rope rescue, it can be used on compatible diameters during controlled descent scenarios, though specialist arborist devices may be preferable.
