forgot to mention,i have no worries abbing with either,with the grooves/teeth,whatever you call them,the more the rope is pulled down the more the device grips.
in fact i sometimes feel like i can let go of the rope altogether the friction is that high,maybe it dpends whether the device is clipped to your belay loop or extended like petzl suggests,also im only 10 stone,i guess the more weight the more force is needed on the device...
