The Cassin Piu 2

© Allcord Ltd
The Piu 2 has a similar design to the Piu, with the addition of a second karabiner hole to make lowering a second who is weighting the rope easier. Simply clip a karabiner in and use it as a lever to gradually release tension. The teeth have been optimized for a wide range of rope diameters so climbers can use the same device whether they are rapping fat single lines or catching falls on skinny twin ropes.

  • For rock climbing, alpinism, general mountaineering
  • Auto-locking when belaying one or two climbers on top rope
  • Ideal combination with CAMP Nitro locking karabiner
  • Diagonal cable prevents the rope from rubbing and jamming
  • Rope Diameter: Single 10 - 11 mm, Double 8 - 9 mm
  • Weight: 80 g

looks like a petzl reverso to me?

How many times can the same device be reinvented? I just don't get it? What makes this particular product stand out in comparison to all the other ones that are very similar in design?

Two things stand out- £16 as against £25ish and "The teeth have been optimized for a wide range of rope diameters" when the specs are 10-11mm. The competition can handle 9´s. The diagonal cable (which is a work-round Petzl´s patent) is not nescessarily the best idea ever in practice. Jim

Cables fail over time too. Maybe that's a 'designed-in' life limiter so you have to buyanother one in a few years- like the BD ATC.

Yes, just looks like a reverso knock off. I don't see the point. The paint/metal does not look very smooth either.
