Solid belay device

Easily my favourite tubular device I've used as of yet. very light yet still accommodating a varied size of ropes, handles like a charm on 9.5mm ropes and below.

I however did find that on thicker ropes (10 to 11mm) the rope sometimes would get 'stuck' when under lighter loads, requiring you to lift the rope higher then I would be comfortably with which the device would then rather suddenly begin functioning. This only ever seemed to happen when letting down a lighter climbing partner (below 60kg).
