It's NOT what you think
Sign up for our newsletter at https://www.hownot2.com/sign-up A tibloc is a lightweight tooth device used for emergencies, mechanical advantage and sometimes as a way to protect the leader during a simul climb if the 2nd falls. We tested it to see if it shred ropes faster than an ascender or micro traxion and it did not. We tested to see if the plates would break if you clipped it wrong and the device itself is crazy strong at 30kn but if it isn't in the carabiner and you clip it like the warning infographic from petzl, it shreds your rope, in our case at 6kn on a dynamic rope, not because the teeth but from the sharp edge.
