Petzl Reverso and Black Diamond ATC guide break tests - how strong is that eye?
Bogdan Cardoş asked Petzl how strong the metal eye was on the atc guide since it is a single point of failure. They replied with "There is no standard requirement to communicate and breaking strength of the attachment point. The product has been designed to be used as described in the technical instruction. It is certified according to the EN standards so we don't have to communicate the breaking strength of the Reverso. Thank you for your TRUST"
Petzl is right, they don't have to tell you and it is probably super good enough, but trust? Trust is overrated, so I took my personal Petzl Reverso 4 and pulled it to destruction. Also, because we had them, we tested the Black Diamond ATC Guide and the smaller Black Diamond ATC Alpine Guide.
