blamonge23's Review of DMM Wales DMM Bug Belay Device
20th Jun 2006
Overall Rating
- Value for money
Dirt Cheap.
Hot forged.
Simple.
Lightweight.
Can belay single and double ropes.
Bad Points
Not suitible for alpine mountaineering, not enough friction.
Not the best for abseiling, gets hot... very hot.
Plastic protector over the wire peels off easily one broken.
General Comments
The Bug is DMM's most simplistic belay device. It is capable of belaying single or double ropes with adiameter of 10mm +. However belaying isits only real use, as it gives very little friction it isn't suitible for abseiling or alpine mountaineering and it gets hot very quikly. Overall it is a fantastic belay device for general use and is well recommended for beginners etc.
