The Jag is a double rope pulley used to reduce friction in the system making hauling more efficient. It can be paired with other pulleys to provide mechanical advantage, or with the Jag Traxion to create a progress capture 4:1 system.
The Petzl Jag System is an enclosed 4:1 progress capture pulley system that can be used for hauling, tensioning a system, pickoffs, making a releasable anchor, or evacuating a victim when paired with an I'D Descender. The Jag and Jag Traxion that create the system utilise sealed ball bearings to increase efficiency up to 91%, which with the 4:1 mechanical advantage, enable easier work to be done by the user.
