          This is about 3x more expensive than those at the hardware store....also has a lower working load of 1100 lbs. Basically a repackaged hardware link with the upcharge...

          Comments about Petzl Oval Screw Link:

          I use these links for fixed anchors on outdoor routes. Sure, hardware store links work and are significantly cheaper but aren't rated to anywhere near the strength of these links. Most importantly for me, I have a number of carabiners with a "keeper pin" to keep the biner from being removed. These links are the only links I've found slim enough to fit in the space between the keeper pin and the biner's spine.

          I would not recommend these links as a bail biner. The size makes it hard to feed the rope through it directly. A simple aluminum carabiner is cheaper and easy to use as a bail biner.

          Comments about Petzl Oval Screw Link:

          It gets the job done. Don't for get to bring a 12mm wrench! If you over tighten the nut it can develop burs, so don't crank it down.

          Comments about Petzl Oval Screw Link:

          I think everyone should have at least one bail biner on there harness. Better than loosing a [$] quickdraw on an outdoor wall, and can also be used to suppliment chain anchors.
