DMM does it right. These are probably one of the best tools for wandering routes besides big slings and cheaper than double ropes! Don't place them too low on the pitch or you will transfer a lot more force to your belayer.
actually useful

Like other folks have said, these things are great for making a sharp change in direction; they really diminish rope drag. They also are great for things like z-pulleys (try making a pulley with one and one without and you'll see the difference right away). I know folks who use a locker version (or two) as a master point for top roping as well.
My one gripe is that they do need to be either on a dog bone or held tight somehow to keep the proper orientation. I suspect that if this could be fixed by putting a gate on it, like the DMM belay master carabiners.

When used properly it's amazing what you can do with just two Revolvers.
At the Gunks I use them regularly to string the short but wandering pitches. Stringing some pitches together without double ropes, once meant not placing much gear and using lots of extra long runners to keep the rope from bending too much. With the Revolvers I routinely make 90 degree doglegs with no rope drag.

Used them on a couple pitches in the gunks with granite_grrl. They work. glad I didn't have to buy them, though!!!
