Have some durability concerns

    Comments about Omega Pacific Jake Quik-Lok Autolocking Carabiner:

    We've had a lot of problems with the locking sheaths bending and then tearing even under moderate use. Failure of the sheath essentially makes the biner a non-locker, though we have never had any issues with strength. While they are convenient, there are some definite concerns with durability. I would recommend for light use only.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    First Carabiner, Very Happy

    By Stefano P.

    from Michigan

    About Me Casual/ Recreational

    Site Member

    Pros

    • Durable
    • Large opening
    • Solid

    Cons

    • Heavy but worth it

    Best Uses

    • Indoor climbing
    • Outdoor climbing

    Comments about Omega Pacific Jake Quik-Lok Autolocking Carabiner:

    I am a young climber, and purchased this when I was out on my first outdoor climbing trip in Austin, Texas. My use for this carabiner is mainly as my belay biner. I like the autolock feature, because it takes out the human error in forgetting to lock the biner, and I also like the large top and small bottom. It keeps the biner in place on my belay loop, but gives me a lot of room for rope movement and other work. I have not used it for multiple rope belaying, but I'm sure it would work wonderfully. This biner is heavy and large, but it feels very secure. I often like to put it in one hand and open and close the gate, just to become more accustomed to the locking device. If you have small hands or are looking for a lightweight biner, I wouldn't recommend this, but otherwise it's done wonders for me. I highly recommend going into a store and feeling it for yourself.

    Solid and roomy

    Pros

    • Quick to open
    • Solid

    Cons

    • Heavy

    Best Uses

    • Indoor climbing
    • Top Roping

    Comments about Omega Pacific Jake Quik-Lok Autolocking Carabiner:

    This is an ideal carabiner for top-roping - solid,
    easy to use, and easy to verify. The angled opening compensates for the narrow midsection giving it the gate clearance of a traditional pear-shaped biner. Given its size and weight however, it's best left on the ground.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Easy to use, although i had practice with this one before purchase. It is easy to open and opens wider than carabiners that open straight back.

        Great, solid piece of gear. It opens quick but can be somewhat difficult with one hand...takes some practice to open efficiently. It's a bit heavy but that comes with being such a solid and strong piece of gear. It's primarily used for belaying with my ATC Guide.

          Comments about Omega Pacific Jake Quik-Lok Autolocking Carabiner:

          Only auto-locker I've used, but I'm very pleased and cannot very well think of how to improve on the design. I belay off this carabiner always. Obviously not ideal as a powerpoint of an anchor system, but is ideal for use as the rope-crimping biner with a Reverso or ATC-guide.

            My favorite part of this biener is the angle at which the gate opens. It really makes a differenc with thicker ropes on getting set up quickly and easily. Very easy one hand lock design.

            Others I have climbed with have not had any issues, but with an average size female hand I felt it was a little too large to use comfortably. I have used others that are slightly smaller with a lot more ease. Great for a guy, but maybe not for a female.
