By Ranked #321 - Big Wall Climbing May 27, 2010

according to the specs sizes 1 and 2 only hold 2 kn. Is that strong enough to hold a lead fall? or are they used for top roping or repelling?

Your right, not strong enough to hold most falls. Stoppers smaller than 2 are meant for direct aid only and should only bear static loads.
