Black Diamond ATC-XP Belay Device

Item #BLD1398 | 11 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Works just fine

By Ranked #15 - Belay and Rappel Devices March 26, 2009

I like my XP just fine, it works just like it is suppose to. But after I bought it I read an article that said the longer friction channel and sharper V shape of the BD ATC builds more heat from friction and is harder on your rope's sheath then others like the Reverso 3 which has half the channel length and a more rounded trough.

So why did you give it three stars??? Just because you read an article?
