Overview
Clamping onto a rope, this Kong emergency clamp works as an ascender made of metal. The listing names it Duck and gives its item type as a lock, and the specs list it as an emergency style.
The reason to consider it is a light, metal clamp from an Italian rope-gear maker for emergency use. The limit is the thin listing, which leaves out rope size, load rating and the colour it actually ships in.
Who it's for
People who already know the rope they use and want a compact clamp as a spare. Those who need rated, certified gear or a specific rope diameter should look for a listing that spells those out.
Pros and cons
- Emergency style clamp
- Small and light
- Rope diameter not listed
- No strength rating given
- No certification shown
- Colour shown inconsistently
Performance notes
A rope clamp holds by gripping the rope, so the result depends on the rope diameter and condition, which the listing does not state. Test it on the exact rope in a safe setting before any real use.
