3 guys from germany made a device which is called TRE now i am happy to have it in my hands and i am more happy to use it when i am climbing...it has the same price of gri gri but believe it can do more than that ...its weight is 150 almost the weight of an 8 . you can use it for belaying the leader the second or the seconds and rapel with out using anything for brake when the first or the second takes a fall it blocks automaticaly and you can use it for 7.5 to 11 ropes!!!
TRE device rules.....

What material is it made from? The picture almost looks like it's plastic. Can you get them in the U.S.?

yeap something like that an autolocking reversoso!!!
something that i forgot to mention is that you can get the TRE out of the rope with out unlocking the carabiner!!! so there is no way you are going to loose it . dear cscooper i dont know if the can sent this to u.s.a. but why not just visit there site and ask them!!!

Looks cool but the Gri-Gri is the only device I'll use while sleeping and belaying (something bigwallers will actually do), and I don't think you can solo with that thing and I can with my Gri-Gri.
The TRE looks way cooler than a reverso but IMHO not nearly as good as the Gri-Gri!
Thank you for bringing it to our attention! And your english is as good or better than many of our users who use it as their first language!
