When Black Diamond designed the ATC they were searching for the best belay device around: one that would feed rope smoothly and easily, one that didn´t kink the rope while rappelling, one that would hold falls effectively and was both durable and lightweight. That´s a tall order for any one device, but the ATC accomplishes all of this with determination and ease.
Simple, lightweight and smooth feeding, the ATC belay/rappel device is easy to operate and, when used correctly, won't kink your rope. Designed for 7.7-11 mm cords and to hold falls more easily, its extensive surface area dissipates heat effectively when lowering or rappelling.
This anodized Air Traffic Controller is light, easy to operate, and won't lock up during a belay or rappel.
The anodized Black Diamond Air Traffic Controller is light, easy to operate and won’t lock up unexpectedly. A good choice for all-around use, the ATC works with 7.7–11 mm ropes and performs well on rappels and belays. An OMC Staff Favorite! (Carabiner shown for size)

Best belay tool I've used | |
| Rating: |  |
| I got this when I started getting really into climbing in July 2007 and I've been using it ever since, it's worked awesome for everything from top roping to lead belaying. About the only thing I haven't done with this yet is rappel, although from word-of-mouth the ATC handles it like a champ. All in all I'll never buy a different non-locking belay device. | |
