Petzl I'D EVAC Vs. I'Ds Self Braking Descender

If you have any experience in the at-height industries you’ve probably heard of the Petzl I’D self-braking descender. The I’D is an incredibly versatile and intuitive device for descending ropes in rope access or any at-height application and now Petlz has introduced a new version, the I’D EVAC. The I’D EVAC was designed to attach directly to an anchor instead of your harness and provide an easier method for lowering a fallen worker in a pick-off situation or even aid in precise control as part of a rigging tag line.

The I’D EVAC self-braking descender is primarily designed for lowering from an anchor. The ergonomic handle is specifically oriented for managing a load from the anchor and offers comfortable descent control. The integrated anti-panic function and anti-error catch limit the risk of an accident due to user error. The AUTO-LOCK system allows the rope to be automatically locked without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device. Once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle. The safety gate allows the rope to be installed with the device remaining connected to the anchor. I'D EVAC is compatible with 10 to 11.5 mm ropes and allows handling of loads up to 250 kg.

ok, so someone goes down a ladder and needs a safety rope, someone lowers you, easy peasy, but now you climb the ladder, does the top man hold the handle and pull the rope thru. i know, dumb question
