Description

Machined from 12.5-mm (1/2-inch) plate, our classic Rescue 8 design
has been refined for even better performance with today’s selection of
life safety rope. Descenders no longer routinely use 16-mm (5/8-in)
rope, so the smaller dimensions of our Rescue 8 provide greater control.
The proprietary black finish on the aluminum model provides outstanding
wear resistance, while the nickel-chrome-plated steel model excels in
high-wear situations, such as sandy, gritty environments. The extended
carabiner hole accommodates multiple carabiners.* Certified range of rope diameters and CMC’s recommendation for best performance.
About CMC’s Super Black Finish
The CMC 3D, Rescue Rack, Rappel 8, and Rescue 8 products feature an
exceptionally long-wear proprietary finish because typical hard or soft
anodizing on aluminum descenders eventually wears through. This finish
also prevents transfer of material onto the rope, common with bare
aluminum components. After years of heavy use, our products and test
samples with this Super Black Finish continue to be used in CMC School
classes without showing any indication of the finish wearing through.
