Reviews
I love my Oldschool 8
"What I grew up belaying and repelling on, I don't see many kids using them these days, very lightweight!"
Best Rappel Device
"Light and smooth rappel. Little loud but makes it seem old school. A bit stiff for feeding and taking slack. Good back up rappel device but not the best for belay, get the act for that."
It works
"Does just what a figure-belay device should do. It belays."
Perfect for canyoneering

Nice little luxury
"When your fingers are numb and you have big clunky gloves on it is so much easier to set up a rap and I can flip the brake strands up between the 8 and the strands from the anchor if I need to remove pro. Old school but big, fat frozen ropes-no problem."
8 Delay
"The product is excellent and meets all expectations. You can definitely trust the brand and the quality of their products. I highly recommend Black Diamond products. I am satisfied with my purchase."
Super light and does the job well. . .
"I was actually surprised by the light weight. It worked great and provided a smooth descent and plenty of friction on everything I tried from 6. 0 to 10. 2. It's definitely worth keeping on hand!"
BD Belay Device
"It’s great for simple rappelling, I’ve used in in that fashion for years now and I’ve bought 2. But as I’ve gotten into technical rescue and more technical ropes stuff, the ability to easily tie off on the line is imperative. I cannot do so with this belay device itself, so I have a separate one for this reason. However if newbies that just wanna rappel, I’d recommend this highly."
Great 8!
"Great 8!"
