Petzl ASAP vs. ASAP Lock

[@namelastname2449]

If you people don’t know, Scott is in the top 3 American alpine climbers of the past 50 years or more

[@Gmesupply]

We have a couple more videos with Scott coming shortly. Unfortunately, not showing off his killer climbing skills but anytime Scott is around there are things that can be learned. We are lucky to get to work with him and Petzl

@@Gmesupply please keep him in GME Supply - he’s literally a great guy and a master of his skill - good to have him on your side!

[@Gmesupply]

@@namelastname2449 He actually works with Petzl and is gracious enough to grace us with his presence and wisdom when he has an exciting new product to show us. We do realize how lucky we are to get to work with the leaders in our industries and hope Scott feels appreciated anytime he works with GME

Great comparison showing differences

i enjoy the Petzl ID with the ASAP for high rise window cleaning, great combo!

[@9966-r7u]

Scott, where can one buy the Petzl shirts you are wearing?

[@VAN_production.mp4]

ASAP Rock for dynamic rope 9.6? It's written that it's designed for 10-13mm diameter rope. Is a problem if rope is 9.6? What about the rope type (dynamic instead of static)?

[@connernealon6015]

I don’t know if it’s spec’s for dynamic rope, but I imagine it’s only designed for static line riggers, fire fighters, rope access, etc

[@wrongwayup8217]

Is the lock version really nessessary with the use of an ID?

[@jasonjoens279]

On a single rope system, no. But on a 2 rope system, you would use the ASAP on the second rope as your backup.

[@adrianoalves2614]

ASAP LOCK THE BEST!!

[@alfredosanchez2677]

We’re can I buy those?

Что думают эксперты на сей счёт? Цитата из инструкции: “Устройства для остановки падения ASAP и ASAP LOCK крепятся только к элементам крепления типа А (на груди или на спине). Ни в коем случае нельзя устанавливать ASAP на брюшную точку крепления.” Это действительно так? Разве я не могу прицепить ASAP к поясной беседке?

[@ВалентинКругляк]

Еба ты спросил... Тут только американцы сидят. Думаешь тебе кто-то ответит... ..нет! Страховка всегда крепится к верхней точке! Точка! Если что-то случится и ты повиснешь на страховке ,то ты должен висеть вертикально,и не в низ головой! Вот причина ,по которой существует это правило!

Нихрена не понятно но очень интересно

Wrong carabine oriented.

[@paweflaytec4507]

Absorbery są chyba po to byś sobie nogi połamał o jakaś półkę ,czy parapet. Producenci mają fatalnych projektantów i zupełny brak zrozumienia zasad prac wysokościowych skoro projektują takie dziadostwo. Lina z człowiekiem to nie manekin w sali doświadczalnej. Tu jest tyle miejsc amortyzacji ze uzycie dodatkowego amortyzatora wydłużajacego lot to większe ryzyko kontuzji,wypadku.

[@piciu256]

Basorber jest po to wymagany że asap się blokuje dopiero po osiągnięciu pewnej prędkości, do tego ma zęby jak ascendery, więc jest ryzyko uszkodzenia liny bez absorbera, zauważ że wszystkie inne przyrządy asekuracyjne nie wymagają użycia absorbera.

If only this guy actually had some idea what he was talking about.

[@namelastname2449]

You dont know who Scott Backes is obviously

[@StaggerLee68]

Both are expensive pieces of junk. A marketing ploy and actually quite dangerous. The single worst idea and manufacture of Rope Access equipment in history. There is a list of reasons many experienced Rope Access Supervisors do not let them on their job sites. The biggest reason is that they are smart. If you want to waste money and potentially have someone get very seriously injured at work... get the ASAP.

[@damoneblackman1702]

I'm interested in your comment as I've heard otherwise, any evidence, experience with or stories you can share?

[@StaggerLee68]

@@damoneblackman1702 Too many stories to share. Look, on some level, gear is gear and if a company is paying for it, We can use anything they hand us. That said, in terms of quality equipment, there is a lot out there that is just plain better gear on many levels.If you want expensive, mid range and disposable gear, go Petzl. The industry has been duped into believing there is one company and one alone. That time is up. Happy rigging, think outside the big box. Cheers.

@@StaggerLee68 thanks for your insight, and for the reply.

[@windowwarriorsforum9112]

@@StaggerLee68 How about 1 story? I am interested in your concern but it needs to be backed up with some details. If someone knows something can cause serious injury with many reasons to back up, peoples safety would benefit..

[@StaggerLee68]

@@windowwarriorsforum9112 With the ASAP, you need to generate a fall distance to activate the pawls in the mechanism. There have been issues with techs falling in structure with the ASAP on free mode. By the time you generate the 2.5m/s needed to activate the pawls, you've hit something already. Loong drops? You've got some time before it would engage 100m down a rope. Rope to rope tansfers? it will most likely not engage in the pendulum, not enough speed. Yes, we've tested it extensively. Most of all, from an instructor's point of view, nothing has taught techs how to disregard their backup device or simply neglect it like the ASAP has. It was designed and implemented to make a shit ton of money, by Petzl. I was somewhat involved with this crime by teaching classes with it as a partnership with Petzl. My bad. It's always been a junk device and it always will be. Most of my crews refuse to use it. I commend them for it.
