Pretty versatile tool: Size One Size

Very useful for belaying in assisted mode but it gets a bit jerky when rappelling but I guess I'll get to find it's sweet spot. It also works as a normal tuber so that's nice.

Could be a bit cheaper and I find the labels on the sides confusing. Otherwise great! :-)

Ideal for thin half and twin ropes, not useful for most single ropes: Size One Size

I bought two 8mm half ropes (impregnated) and found that the braking effect with tuber is extremely poor, even though the manufacturer says it goes up to 7.8mm (the brake shoes are already a bit worn down). If I have a long fall, I don't know if my girlfriend will be able to handle it easily.
That's why I got the Gigajul because you can switch between tube and semi-automatic. It also works wonderfully with the thin half ropes.
Abseiling and following via tube mode and leading via semi-automatic with first-class braking effect in the event of a fall.
But when I tried the Gigajul for sport climbing with ropes of 9.5 (new) & 9.8mm (probably 10x as it's older) I have to say that it's not a good fit for me. Belaying is possible and is probably OK for beginners, but if you like to belay more dynamically or the climber is moving quickly, the Gigajul in semi-automatic mode simply blocks far too often with thicker single ropes. Compared to my old Tuber, the slot on the GigaJul through which the rope runs is almost 2mm thinner, which is probably why there is extra friction.
Conclusion: Great for alpine MSL tours with half and twin ropes, but not ideal for sport climbing or single ropes. The Grigri, etc. is simply much more comfortable.
