A lightweight compact auto-braking descender for rope access and rescue designed for semi-static ropes ranging from 10 to 11 mm. Designed for expert users; the lever does not have the anti panic function. The body and lever are made of robust hot forged aluminum alloy. Mechanical parts are made of precision-cast stainless steel. The internal mechanism and locking cam use a patented design for smooth action on the rope which prevents rapid wear-and-tear and absorbs energy from small shocks with a slight amount of rope slippage. The fluid action on the rope also allows the Druid to function well for rope ascent. The cam can be deactivated with a trigger to allow quick sliding of the rope in situations with no load or limited load. Steel ring for attaching a keeper cord.
- Back Flange: hot forged aeronautic grade aluminum alloy for high strength and resistance to wear-and-tear.
- Front Flange: hot forged aeronautic grade aluminum alloy with markings to indicate the proper direction for inserting the rope.
- Attachment Hole: large diameter allows for complete rotation of a locking carabiner. The carabiner cannot be attached unless the device is completely closed.
- Lowering Lever: hot forged aeronautic grade aluminum alloy and precision cast stainless steel with an ergonomic shape and double hinge for good leverage and control when lowering.
- Fixed Cam: precision cast stainless steel for high strength and resistance to wear-and-tear. Also serves as a rope guide when lowering to limit contact between the rope and the aluminum side walls.
- Mobile Cam: precision cast stainless steel with proprietary geometry that allows the cam to rotate into place alongside the rope. This makes the action very rope-friendly.
- Cam Trigger: the small flange on the bottom of the Mobile Cam can be used to momentarily hold the cam open for paying out slack or to initiate a descent when there is a lot of friction.
- Lowering mechanism without anti-panic function, designed for expert users.
- Rivets: Precision CNC stainless steel. The large diameter and precision pressing ensure exceptional strength and performance over the life of the device.
- Hole to insert a cord for securing the device, preventing it from falling.
