Who Is Still Buying This?

I would describe this device as what would be produced if a bunch of non-climbing 1st year engineering students were trying to do a project with only the description of what was needed. It technically does the tasks it needs, but so much worse than the super clip and the beta stick, while being prone to breaking. It's an over engineered piece of garbage. Do yourself a favor and go buy a super clip.

Awesome Tool!

I've been someone who's fairly efficient at rodeoing clips, but you can't do that unless it's perma-drawed or someone has already run up the route. This was a great investment even on it's very first trip. Being able to set a draw, put a rope on it, and even un-clip the draw from the wall makes it easier to convince people to push themselves on routes. Will definitely be taking this on all future trips!

Gets The Job Done

The only stick-clip I've found that can also take the draws down. That's a big deal for me since sometimes me or my buddies want to try extra hard routes. We've dealt with doing some sketchy things trying to get the bolts down and down climbing and it's not worth it. The downfalls I can find of the device is that the rotating arm could break off potentially and also the silicon used to grip the carabiner sometimes isn't too good at gripping. But a little fiddling is better than a nasty fall any day!

The Squid Is An Awesome Item To Have In Your Bag

We bought this because we were looking to step up our climbing game but wanted to do so in a safe manner. It's been great for that and has given us the opportunity to climb a grade above our current level. It's also great on climbs that are run out with the first bolt having the possibility to fall unprotected. The Squid is also super easy to use and to get the hang of (Pun intended). I watched a video on youtube before buying it and only had to watch it the one time to get the basics of how to use it. We have already recommended it to our friends and am now recommended it to you.

Very Official-looking

Previous to purchasing the Squid I would just find a long branch and tape my quickdraw to the end. That was usually okay for clipping, but retrieval options are limited. Now I can get my draws off the wall if I was feeling too big for my britches and couldn't finish.
