The SMC Spider is an Auto Braking NFPA T Rated Descender designed for work positioning and personal descent.

Widely described as the best rappel device in the world, rappel racks are simple, rugged, very versatile and a vital piece of rescue or work-safety equipment. While there are a variety of other devices such as Figure 8 Descenders and mechanical belay devices, the basic, standard length, six bar J-frame rappel rack has versatility that most devices lack, allowing the user to adjust friction by adding or removing bars while under load, doing so results in greater control of the rate of descent. A rappel rack may be quickly tied-off which then frees both hands in order to assist with an individual in rescue scenarios, for rigging other gear, and in a variety of other situations. All SMC Rappel Rack frames are stainless steel in order to provide exceptional strength, reliability, and durability.

If you want to start a heated debate among Rappel Rack aficionados just ask the group what style is best, J-Racks or U-Racks- Both share benefits such as providing the largest range of friction control with a variety of ropes, being great as either a lowering device or on rappel, not twisting ropes and so on. The benefit that people most often attribute to the U-Rack over the J-Rack is greater strength. This is a fallacy, despite being the common understanding, as the system fails when the rope brakes rather than the device breaking. As a result, both types of racks achieve similar ratings.

The SMC Oval was one of the first aluminum carabiners manufactured in the US during the 1960-s. This classic traditional carabiner is highly versatile and functionally designed to withstand the test of time. A major benefit of using a --true-- oval carabiner is that it is very difficult to load incorrectly. Load forces tend to "self-equalize" between the pulley, ropes and anchors in your system by balancing your load equally on the spine and gate allowing the carabiner to maintain full strength under a variety of conditions.

The SMC Rigging Ring is the strongest aluminum ring of its size in the market and is only limited by your imagination and rigging expertise. The SMC Rigging Ring was designed as the ultimate climbing accessory and can be used in conjunction with anchor systems, haul systems, as a connection point providing that missing link which is often needed. The inside diameter will accommodate up to 3 standard sized carabiners.
