Is that only for top roping ES? Or can you lead with it?

Just top rope. You fix the rope, feed it into the shunt, weight the bottom of the rope, and off you go. It is
just like a mechanical prussic, just smoother and easier to pull up after you than a prussic. You just have
to remember not to grap the shunt with your hand before you load it. If you do you'll plumet.

Don't forget the other reason you use it Eduardo. Because it rhymes with sport climber.

'...This is the device for roped solo. The climber ties a clove hitch around the spool in a specific fashion, and then climbs. The rope feeds smoothly, but if the climber falls, a centrifugal clutch engages and keeps the spool from rotating...'
Anyone tried these... big fall would break it easy??
