The new OCTOPUS safety stopper: a simple and efficient design for an unbeatable quality!
Strong and reliable, the OCTOPUS safety stopper (lanyard stopper) enhances your safety as it efficiently prevents your lanyard from getting stuck. The almost-flat upper part gives a clean stop to your carabiner, while the lower part, with its conical shape, allows your lanyard cable to be “expelled” towards the outside, with no grip to get it stuck. Following the Octopus prototype tests, they chose a diameter wider than a tennis ball’s (75mm vs 65mm). Finally, the bright fluorescent yellow color makes it more visible.
It works perfectly with a 10 to 12mm rope. But it is possible to use it with smaller ropes down to 8mm.
Regarding the mounting process, the stopper is divided in two parts. A simple knot is placed in its center, and 3 stainless steel screws (standard cross-head) make it easy to finish putting it in place. It is made out of ABS, a strong plastic used for example to make LEGOs: after all, we are just big kids playing in the water!
