The DMM Pivot belay device delivers confident belaying and effective stopping power whether used in guide mode, or belaying from the waist. Guide plates have traditionally been difficult to operate when lowering seconds. The Pivot's shackle reduces the force needed to initiate lowering, increasing control of the speed at which you lower your second.
The DMM Figure 8 is ideal for group or individual abseiling and has the advantage of a wide karabiner hole that will accept two karabiners, making it good for rescue purposes. If you do a lot of abseiling where your belay device overheats or gets worn quickly then get yourself a DMM Figure of 8.
