![]() Being able to match hands is useful, but I've found the trigrest gets in the way when hammering/chopping. ![]() In practice I find he trigger uncomfortable, and too small for use with gloved hands - but perhaps smaller-handed users will get on with it. ![]() This allows one to match higher up the shaft, and the trigger aids precision whilst swinging. Like the previous version the latest QUARK is supplied with a removable plastic trigrest. It is a shame Petzl haven't made it possible for users to lock this feature, and I can only assume it wasn't developed with soggy British conditions in mind! Having experienced this a couple of times, I now don't push the button unless plunging the shaft is essential. However in particularly wet conditions, I have found the button gets stuck in and refuses to lock, leaving me with a moving griprest that can pinch my fingers. I've used this occasionally, and it does work. ![]() This is handy when plunging in soft snow, particularly for doing simple belays like the stomper and boot axe. They have also added a little spring loaded button to the griprest so it can be folded out of the way. Petzl have made the spike a little thicker, and so far I am yet to bend it. The griprest and spike have changed substantially.
