I recently got one of these in the hopes that it could replace the Petzl Croll in my climbing setup. It requires more care in placement than the Croll in order to have the rope feed smoothly and that is the only thing that the Croll does better. This thing is tiny and can be left in place all the time and not get in the way or snag on things. I would often remove the Croll if I thought I would not be needing it for the rest of the climb because it seems to catch on everything.
The Futura also has cone-shaped teeth that appear to be much gentler on the rope than the Croll.
All and all I like it better than the Croll.
