Wild Country VC Pro Belay Device: Smooth, Secure, Simple

If smooth handling is what you're looking for, the VC Pro is the one. Whether I was paying out quick bites for the leader or rapping with fat or skinnies, the VC Pro refused to get old and cranky on me. The smooth edges and craftsmanship play a big role in keeping the rope running smooth over and around all sides of the device.
Pros: Inexpensive; teeth bite double or twin ropes well; simple design; smooth handling and effortless rappelling.
Cons: Semi-rigid keeper becomes flexible over time; not as versatile as other, more expensive belay devices on the market.
