Adding to MrG's post...
There are lots of similar; plus variations on the themes that aren't listed in the link below!

Variation on the Bachmann theme that I use for that purpose, is to not include the krab inside the friction loops, ie simply hold a finger in the loop and spin the krab around the standing part of the rope then clip the krab back into the loop where your finger is.
Both have pro's and con's with basically the krab being able to loosen tension easily after the friction hitch load is released (good for ascending!), though for abseiling I like the fast spin-it-around-the-rope method, because the abseil brake hand holds the loops loosely stopping ropeburn but not inhibiting it locking-on if let go!

I know they have also been used as running 'belays' in solo climbing... not that I'd recommend this due to possible rope sheath damage in a significant fall. |
