Das pivot
Das pivot ist DAS Gerät, wenn man Mehrseillängen klettern möchte. Leichtes Handling, durch die bewegliche Öse ist auch ein Ablassen des Nachstehenden viel leichter.

An improvement over the standard ATC
Most climbers I've seen use the BD ATC Guide, having never heard of the DMM Pivot. However, I've been encouraging climbers who plan to use it in guide mode to give it a try. Lowering your second is a lot easier: the hole takes a carabiner easier than the ATC, and it requires less leverage to release, meaning you have more control over lowering, and less likely to drop your partner. It's an improvement over a tried a true device that should see more popularity.

This is a great rappel and belay device
This is a great rappel and belay device, and the pivoting loop really does improve lowering in guide mode as compared to the ATC Guide. Lowering in guide mode is still a bit scary, but considering it's the best device on the market for this, I can't really dock it a star for that.
