It is quite small, lightweight, and can be very helpful when you less expect it. It gets the job done as well as a prusik hitch to ascend on the rope, and looks at least three times nicer than a piece of cord. Attach it to a Petzl Sm'D Twist-Lock carabiner, and boom; you won't ever drop it by mistake.

Typical high quality construction from Petzl. I do like this product b/c it’s relatively inexpensive and simple to use.One complaint/caution is that trying to descend a few feet gets a bit annoying as the teeth will dig in and it’s like taking a bone from a dog.Honestly, I end up using a prusik more frequently b/c it’s easier to ascend and descend as you are doing things like cleaning a route or trying that crux move over and over.
The Tribloc is a really nice rope grab. I am using it for as a midline attachment point for a pick off system with an Aztec pulley rig. It allows me to have a hard connection to the rope so that I can shorten a section with mechanical advantage and pull climbers out of gaps in a high ropes ladder. It’s really well made and is a very firm rope grip. My only hesitation is that because the teeth are so aggressive I am a little concerned about repeated use on a rope causing the rope to weaken. Time will tell
