I acquired my Kong Full from Outdoor Shopping in 2014.
The Kong Full is an interesting variation of the sticht-type belay plate. It is forged from aluminum alloy and then hard anodized. It has two slots that are 45 mm. long, a 20.3 by 29.8 mm oval hole at one end, and three 20.5 circular holes at the other. Mine is 90 mm. long, 125 mm. wide, 10 mm. high, and weighs 103 g.
One side of the plate is printed with "FULL," "864.15," "CE0426," the Kong Logo, "ITALY," a human icon, "MAX 5 CEN TS 16415:13," and a book-with-an-"i" icon.
The Full is a large device and I would not recommend it if your only application is belaying. The extra holes give the Full the capability of being used as a rigging plate, and they also facilitate some forms of belaying encountered in guiding. If your application benefits from these features, the Full, like the Grivel Shuttle, is a product that provides them.
The two slots are longer than those on standard "Sticht" plates and give less friction than standard "Sticht" plates do. The slot length is closer to that of various guide devices such as the Kong Gi–gi, and Cassin #217.
For far more content, use a larger monitor and a full-width window.
Hundreds of cell phone users complained and asked me to for a simpler, mobile friendly site. In particular, they wanted me to limit each page to a small number of pictures and minimize my use of text. This new site provides what they asked for.
