An amazing multi-use device - Edelrid Pinch Belay

Have debated on getting an assisted belay device for years and have tried multiple GriGris and the trango variant as well. This device had me so excited. It is usable for belaying, rappeling and certified for professional rope access. The device is easy to use. I really like that it can be attached to a harness carabiner free. Also the orientation can be rotated in 90 degree increments to find the best possible solution for lowering. A large handle helps lower the climber and if you go too far the device "pops" and locks out. One can either move the handle further or reset it to resuming lowering. The first time it locks out it is a little scary but easy to get used to. Overall, this is a great device and my new goto for all applications.
