How is the handle diameter compared to e.g. the Petzl Aztar? Is the handle material grippy or slippy? The leash looks like it closes around the wrist just with velcro; true? And it looks like it attaches to the knob just with the metal fitting, or is there some kind of indent there that helps keep the two together? Is that hole through the shaft by the knob all the way through the shaft so that I could attach a different kind of leash if I so wished? Can that index finger trigger attachment be added for extra control?

I know this answer is really late, but better late than never. If you haven't bought tools yet i can highly recommend these. The shaft diameter is much like the BD Reactor, not super familiar with the Aztar. The handle is grippy, a trigger can be installed, and the hole at the top is for an extra leash or some sort of extra attachment. The leash is webbing all around the loop, but cinches tighter with the velcro. The leash does attach at the knob, but the knob is a push button and all you do to take the leash off the tool is push in and rotate (it is a lot like the android from BD). Hope that helps.
