UIAA & CE Certified Hand Ascender for 8–13mm Rope vs SRT Climbing Hand Ascender with ergonomic orange handle

Key Differences

NewDoar (A) uses a lightweight aluminum frame with a stainless steel cam and lists a 140kg/308lb weight limit but is restricted to 8–13mm rope; SZCQ (B) offers an ergonomic orange rubber handle, a lockable mechanism and CE/UIAA certification, and has mixed opinions reported on its weight limit. Choose A if you need a solid cam and clear rope-size spec, choose B if certification and a lockable mechanism are more important
