Is the Petzl Reverso Belay Device a good belay & rappel device?

Yes — Teddy Dondanville recommends the Petzl Reverso Belay Device by Petzl as their belay & rappel devices pick. The Reverso is my favorite tube-style device. What sets it apart from similar devices is that the “guide mode” eyelet is aligned with the two tubes. I prefer how this design positions the device when I am belaying in guide mode. The Reverso can do it all– lead belay, belay in guide mode, and rappel. This is a critical tool to have on your harness.
