Black Diamond Super 8 Belay/Rappel Device
The Super 8 Belay/Rappel Device is Black Diamond's original device for Search and Rescue professionals, and it makes an excellent lo-fi addition to any climber's rack. Its lightweight, compact shape is an ideal choice for minimalist climbers, as well as a tuck-away lifesaver if you drop your primary device at the top of a route, right before the rappel.

Super 8 Belay/Rappel Device
A little smaller than I thought, but lightweight and useful.

Super light and does the job well...
I was actually surprised by the light weight. It worked great and provided a smooth descent and plenty of friction on everything I tried from 6.0 to 10.2. It's definitely worth keeping on hand!

My Go To Rappel Device
I like this rappel device so much I bought both the Black and the Yellow color. It is just hard to beat the value of Black Diamond equipment (especially their outlet and sale items).

Gets the job done
Needed a device for single strand rappels for canyoneering and this is just what I needed! Great as is for short rappels into water, but needed more friction for long rappels so I also used a hollow block.

Rappel with Ease!
Nice multi function hardware! The Paint rubs off sort of easily..

Great 8
Just a great, reliable figure 8 with slightly rougher texture than polished versions for better rope grip without excess heat

A good solid performer
These are great for my intended purpose. I got them to teach my children to rappel on 9.3mm static rope.

Ok 8
Not the best rappel device out there, bought it to rig releasable anchors when canyoneering. It serves the purpose and is well built, but I think there are better suited devices out there for releasable rigging. But when this is on sale it’s worth it to pick one up for sure
