Summary:
I been climing on the Machine now for 3 years and I love them. The leashes not so great I went back to CM Quick locks. I have only had them on very moderate mixed routes. I would highly recomend them to any one.

Customer Service:

Summary:
The grivel machine light is a revolutionary climbing tool. The swing is powerful and when used with the dampening cylinders, the vibration is unreconizable. The leash is a good idea but after a few "serious" lead climbs and torqing of the plastic coated cables, signs of wear are obvious. The pick sticks like a barbed nail in oak, good when going in....hard getting out. Overall an awesome tool..my favorite.

Customer Service:
OK, I ordered them and they forgot to put my name on them and when I went to pick em up, somebody had already bought them.

Summary:
The lighter tool is a fine choice, it has no clinky sound like its big brother the mechine. The leash is a fine hang, but I would not recomend it for hard mixed lead climbing. The shape of cousre makes the tool swing like dream. I would recommed this tool. But my climbing buds would say go for the quark of the cobra.
