CMC Rescue’s DOUBLE CLUTCH TWIN TENSION ROPE SYSTEM KIT includes two G-rated DNA Carabiners that are twisted 90° to align CLUTCH units on the anchor plate. This configuration allows a single operator to manage both CLUTCH handles at the same time for simultaneous twin-tension control. Rescuers who combine kit components in the Double CLUTCH Technique run a hauling/lowering system that meets current best practices, minimizes failure risk, and offers the potential to reduce personnel requirements. Features include color-coded components for each system including bags, rope, and webbing and anti-panic brake and force limiting that provide greater operational safety. www.cmcpro.com.
