CMC Rescue 8 Chrome Steel
Description
Machined from 12.5-mm (1/2-inch) plate, our classic Rescue 8 design
has been refined for even better performance with today’s selection of
life safety rope. Descenders no longer routinely use 16-mm (5/8-in)
rope, so the smaller dimensions of our Rescue 8 provide greater control.
The proprietary black finish on the aluminum model provides outstanding
wear resistance, while the nickel-chrome-plated steel model excels in
high-wear situations, such as sandy, gritty environments. The extended
carabiner hole accommodates multiple carabiners.* Certified range of rope diameters and CMC’s recommendation for best performance. .
