Spend the extra $5 and get the ATC XP
Spend the extra $5 and get the ATC XP. If you get this one you will regret it, and will want to upgrade to the XP. Save your money and hands in the long run and get the XP.

Should always have on hand
Perfect for everything from the gym to rappelling to outdoor top-roping. May want to invest in something with a high friction or auto-locking mode for more advanced stuff but this thing should still be clipped to your harness as a backup.

Quick, easy, and cheap
Easy to use, cheap, quick to setup, there are better braking belay devices out there, but not for this price, super-lightweight

It's a necessity.
I used these in my mountaineering and rock climbing classes, and I must say, it is very simple to use. Whenever going anywhere with a climbing harness, this should be attached to

Keep It Simple
This is about as simple as it gets for a belay device. You'll see these at every gym, every crag. Great for belaying, great for rappelling.

go to belay device
This is an essential basic piece of equipment to always have in you climbing pack. It is simple and always reliable. And I would say fool-proof...but we know better.
