The RIG self-braking descender allows the user to easily position himself at the work station by using the handle to lock the device in place on the rope. Easy to grasp, this descender is intuitive and convenient to use. With its innovative and compact design, the RIG offers a simple, efficient alternative to traditional descenders.
Designed for experienced rope access workers
Multi-function handle allows the user to:
unlock the rope and control the descent with the hand on the free end of the rope
position himself at the work station without having to tie off the device
The automatic return system on the handle limits risks in case of an involuntary action by the user
Handle storage position reduces the risk of snagging when the descender is being carried on the harness
The gate on the moving side plate helps prevent dropping the device and facilitates rope installation when passing intermediate anchors
The stainless steel wear plate improves durability by reinforcing the rope friction zone *NEW for 2018*
Pivoting cam facilitates taking up the slack in the rope. Can also be used to make a progress-capture haul system, and for short ascents (in conjunction with a FOOTAPEor FOOTCORDfoot loop and an ASCENSIONhandled rope clamp)
Lowers heavy loads up to 200 kg (only for experienced users; consult the Instructions for Use for the device at www.petzl.com)

More than happy with this company. They had the mask in stock, I also needed some info on it and Jim was more than helpful. I would recommend anyone looking for PPE to give them a call if you can't see it online.
Buy in bulk and save! Great item. Just what I needed to keep going with what I do. As described - 50 pairs in a box, Postage was prompt! Happy to buy again.
Sorry pushed enter by mistake... to continue on from previous comment.. The Sundstrom membrane kit is a great addition, ie not having to replace the entire mask. The membrane proved very effective at blocking ultra fine particles of sandstone, which I didn't realise until i cleaned the mask. Wouldn't work in noodling machine ( picking opals off conveyor belt) withour one.
