Very lightly used, no appreciable wear. $30.00 obo PPD

Similar to Pirana or ATS

It's pretty good. Here's a bullet-review (as compared with a Pirana, which it sorta resembles):

+

Mid-rappel friction variation is smoother, with a finer degree of control (smaller incremental difference between friction settings)
Ergonomically easier to set up initial friction settings
More rounded design is less snaggy
Better carabiner positioning system (O-ring)


-

No appreciable difference between "1" and "2" initial friction settings (subjective, not measured)
Unintentional change of initial friction settings happens more frequently (perhaps due to smaller base horns)
Fewer friction options overall, esp. for heavier users or 2-person loads (i.e. rescue/tandem rappelling)
