The Petzl Vrillee Twist Hanger is a simple hanger for 8mm bolts with a twist so that it holds a karabiner parallel to the rock. This can be an advantage in places where the rope is likely to be re-ascended rather than pulled through, although it can cause the rope to rub on the rock in certain placements.
The Coudee is a simple hanger for use with 8mm spits that holds the karabiner or maillon perpendicular to the rock, thus reducing rope abrasion. This is useful for situations where a pitch is to be rigged as a pull through, but could increase wear on karabiners if the rope is to be re-ascended. In this situation, a Vrillee twist hangerwould be better.
The newest iteration of the Raumer Minox hanger is lighter, and has a larger hole for accommodating carabiners and attachments, all while maintaining the previous breaking strength. The polished finish allows for easy removal of mud and dirt (specific for caving), differentiating itself from matt grey hangers needed to mitigate visual pollution in outdoor areas.
