The Multi-Function Reel has a clever rotating control mechanism which is simple to use, allowing the user to easily switch between the 4 modes:

- Clockwise ratchet
- Anti clockwise ratchet
- Free flow mode (for sending up SMBs)
- Full lock mode (to provide tension for safety or decompression stops)

What’s more, the centrally located control mechanism is designed for use with either hand, making this model more versatile than thumb trigger designs.
