Which auto block device, Reverso 4 or ATC Guide? 9-Jul-2013 At 2:05:45 PM Hendo

Just to throw in another option. I like the look of the Simond Toucan 2. I haven't actually tried it, but it looks like it may have a better method of releasing the rope while weighted by levering with a spare biner. However, having said that I have never had a problem with BD ATC Guide which I own. I tend to find pulling on the biner with the rope going around it to get a bit of leverage works well enough to pay out slack on the odd occasion it is needed.

Simond also have nice snag free biners (called 'spider') which I note have been updated to be lighter. Unfortunately they don't seem to be readily available. Anyone know where to get them?
