Hand held device

A handheld device, adapted to ascend and descend a cable, the handheld device comprising:

• a motor, mechanically coupled to a gearbox shaft;
• a drive shaft, connected to the gearbox shaft with shaft drive bearings;
• wherein the drive shaft further comprises a plurality of paddles;
• a first housing, mechanically coupled to a gearbox and surrounding the drive shaft;
• wherein the first housing further comprises a top side, a bottom side and at least one other side therebetween;
• a top housing opening and a side housing opening, arranged on the first housing;
• a cinch brake assembly, connected to the first housing;
• a first helical shaft block, partially surrounding the drive shaft;
• wherein the first helical shaft block further comprises a first helical shaft block first shaft, a first helical shaft block second shaft and a first helical shaft block third shaft;
• wherein the first helical shaft block first shaft is joined to a cable entry point that is through a first surface of the first helical shaft block;
• a second helical shaft block, partially surrounding the drive shaft;
• wherein the second helical shaft block further comprises a second helical shaft block first shaft, a second helical shaft block second shaft and a second helical shaft block third shaft;
• wherein the second helical shaft block third shaft is joined to a cable exit point that is through a second surface of the second helical shaft block
• wherein the cable is fed through the first housing, around the drive shaft, out of the first housing and through the cinch brake assembly such that the cinch brake assembly prevents movement of the cable through the first housing.
