I\'D vs Gri-Gri

Hey all,
Ive been wondering about this for a little while. What is the differnece between the gri-gri and the I'D (other than the price). I always use a gri-gri but I was wondering if the I'D has any advantages that would make me wanna switch over. Thanks for all the help.

Take a look here:

YOu'll learn more than you can ever imagine about tools for going up and down rope.

What application are you using the I'd or GG in?

Thanks Tom
That site is awesome! I had seen stuff on it before but didnt know where to find it. I usualy use my grigri for when Im working on a spar. I use it on my pole choke system (instead of a knot and f8). I also keep it on me when ascending on a single rope in case I have to come down. Finaly I'll use it sometimes in a second system ( Ill tie a running bowline, then descend where I have to work, still tied in on my primary Ddrt system). Thanks for the help.

Re: I\'D vs Gri-Gri

My understanding of differences between the ID and the gri gri is primarily the anti-panic integrated in the ID for SRT descent.

I love my grigri, it has a permanent spot on my gear loops because you never know what pops up. Today my lanyard got so coated in Doug Fir pitch that my VT became a solid glob rendered useless. Grigri to the rescue.

The I'd is rated for a two-person load.

It comes in a version that accepts half inch rope.

The Eddy is a tool that is similar in function to the GG put it has a panic lock off similar in function to the I'd. It's my preference in this use over the GG.
