Product description
Like many standard belay devices, the DMM Pivot is made from tough and lightweight aluminum, with two friction options to help you fine tune your lowering. Unlike other devices, the Pivot sports a pivoting hinge that provides some extra leverage and smooth action when you need to lower your second off the belay ledge, making for easy, consistent, and reliable lowering whether you're taking a friend out for a climb or leading clients up their first multi-pitch.
- Aluminum
- High-friction and low-friction modes
- Pivoting auto-blocking guide mode

What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
I've been using this for several years now and it works really well both as a standard belay device and as an autolocking device. The pivot aspect of it does work to make it possible to lower people off if needed, but be careful to make sure you're using it with double ropes as it gets pretty twisted if lowering off on a single rope.
The only reason why I gave it 4 instead of 5 is that the carabiner hole on the front of it doesn't actually fit many types of carabiner.
