Great Device, easy to use and very effective.

Simply put the Ohm makes the climber artificially lighter by introducing friction into the system when they fall so less upward force is felt by the belay and they don't get pulled up to the first clip.

2 improvements are: It could be made clearer which side should face out/up. There are markings but I don't like having to check closely while im clipping. It should be made more obvious. I also think they could improve the design so it is slightly less grabby when you pull rope through quickly.
