New steel biner (relatively light)

[oval]

"Inox" is euro for stainless.

You are talking about the other biner that Hank linked by Austri Alpin. The OP is about the Edelrid Bruce, and unfortunately doesn't say stainless or inox.

Did you see the light weight steel belay/rappel device Edelrid is selling as a combo with that steel biner? It's called the Mega Jul. Has anybody used it? It looks pretty cool from the videos. To bad its out of stock.

I met the guy in the youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEU_R2z4YhY) that's posted below.

He is a Edelrid rep, and my friend Jeff and I talked to him while he showed it off at the '14 Winter OR Show. I tested it a few times at a local crag up in here in Davis County and it's actually a solid device for belaying (especially when you are feeding the rope to the climber).

Rappelling, however...I dunno. But I am gonna test it out tomorrow. Has anybody else given it a try?

Amazon's description says the biner and the device are both stainless.

Just got the Mega Jul kit with the steel carabiner today from http://www.scarpa.com/edelrid/megaju...bruce-steel-fg they're back in stock. I did a quick test in the back yard from my tree anchor. Love the steel carabiner. Like the Jul as a belay device. Hate the Jul as a rappel device. O and I was using a 9.2 canyonero. Also if your looking to buy the steel Jul and carabiner kit don't buy it from Backcountry. Online it shows the kit with the steel biner but if you call them they only have the aluminum one.
