Camp Safety Druid Descender

The Druid Descender is a super - lightweight and compact auto - braking device crafted for rope access and rescue operations. It's specifically designed for semi - static ropes with diameters from 9.9 to 11 mm. This descender comes with a unique anti - panic feature in the lever. If the handle is pulled too far, which might otherwise lead to unsafe descent speeds, the cam re - engages automatically. Its body and lever are made of tough hot - forged aluminum alloy, while the mechanical parts are precision - cast stainless steel. The patented internal mechanism and locking cam ensure smooth movement on the rope, preventing rapid wear and tear. It can absorb energy from small shocks through a bit of rope slippage. The smooth action on the rope also makes it work well for rope ascent. You can de - activate the cam with a trigger, allowing the rope to slide quickly when there's no or limited load. There's a steel ring for attaching a keeper cord. It's certified under EN12841/C for workers up to 120 kg on the working line and can be used for rope access rescue up to 200 kg. It also meets EN 341/2A as an emergency evacuation device on a single line for 120 - kg workers with an 11 - mm semi - static rope (Lithium 11 mm), and EN 15151 - 1 for climbing structures with dynamic ropes from 9.9 to 11 mm. It weighs only 280 grams.

Using the Druid Descender is easy. First, make sure you've selected the right semi - static rope within the 9.9 - 11 mm diameter range. Attach it to your rope access or rescue setup. When descending, the auto - braking function will keep you safe. Just be careful not to pull the handle too far to avoid triggering the anti - panic feature. For rope ascent, the smooth action of the descender on the rope will make the process easier. If you need to quickly slide the rope when there's no or little load, use the trigger to de - activate the cam. Regarding safety, always check the certifications to ensure it meets your requirements based on your weight and the type of operation. Also, don't exceed the maximum weight limits. For maintenance, regularly inspect the body, lever, and mechanical parts for any signs of wear or damage. Since it's made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel, it's fairly durable, but keeping it clean and dry will extend its lifespan. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
