Jaws™ is the most versatile belay device you can get. Period. When you need a positive and secure lock-off, run the brake side of the ropes through the unique double V-notches. In this configuration, Jaws™ has more stopping power than any other belay/rappel device we can find. Turn Jaws™ around and run the braking rope over the smooth side when you’re climbing fast on trad or alpine terrain and you need a lightning fast feed. Rappels are smooth and controlled with Jaws™. The large rope slots make it easy to set up, the V-notches control the speed and the flat rope path really prevents kinking. For low-angle or long double rope rappels you can turn Jaws around so the free end of the rope runs over the smooth side.
