How it does it? - A variety of options, including adding friction and locking off while on rappel, and built in wrenches

Description

The SQWUREL4 is a small but featured packed rappel device for canyoneering.  Canyoneers on the lighter side will appreciate the modified throat geometry that offers smooth rappelling during double rope rappels. A large carabiner hole accommodates larger carabiners and the O-ring minimizes movement and noise. The device has Four built in 4 "wrenches" of 11mm, 12mm, 13mm and 14mm that will fit most rapid sizes you will find in canyon.  The rapid wrenches allow tightening and loosening stubborn rapids that are too tight for bare hands.  

The unique tail of the Sqwurel provides economy of movement while making friction adjustments on-the-fly with minimal hand movement. The economy of movement makes shifting gears quick, easy and intuitive.

The obvious benefit of on-the-fly friction adjustment is during long rappels where friction can be easily adjusted at any time to meet current demands. On-the-fly friction adjustment shines in other less-talked-about areas too. A few examples:

Start with minimal friction to downclimb into an awkward start, then increase the friction once over the edge.

Start with maximum friction to swing over to a far-out-awkwardly-placed anchor, then decrease the friction to begin your descent.

Momentarily reduce friction to cross a long horizontal section or pothole, then increase the friction again to continue the next stage.

Adjust the friction as needed while lowering a load.
