More than anything else CMI has ever made, they are best known for their legendary Figure 8 rappel devices. CMI burst onto the descender scene in 1974 with the introduction of the first forged aluminum hardcoated 8. Now, nearly a million eights later, their lightweight, versatile designs, backed by their flawless track record, continue to win new followers.
CMI eights are hot forged out of aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. Why aluminum, when many others use steel? Aluminum keeps rescue 8's light and produces excellent friction while maintaining the safety margins demanded by todayÂ’s tough standards. CMI's exclusive hardcoat guarantees an exceptionally long life and produces smooth, even friction.
The Rescue 8 is built big enough to handle the largest rescue ropes (two of them). Extended ears on the upper ring make tying off a snap and prevents the rope from sliding up and locking off (inadvertant girth hitch). Dual holes on the tie-in end allow the eight to remain attached to the harness while threading the rope, preventing loss of the device in extreme conditions.
The industry standard for rescue grade descenders.
