Have some durability concerns

By Bridgeclimber

from Lexington, KY

About Me Bridge Climber

Pros

Quick to open

Cons

A bit large
Flimsy

Best Uses

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.

Great Top Rop Belay Biner

By Gotbeltfed

from Redmond, OR

About Me Avid Climber

See all my reviews

Pros

Extra Large
Quick to open
Simple

Cons

Can Freeze
Heavy

Best Uses

Belay
Outdoor climbing
Sport climbing

Comments about Omega Pacific Jake Quik-Lok Autolocking Carabiner:

I bought the Quick-Lok Jake just to belay on dry Sport and Trad routes. For this situation it is not only easy but fast too. The huge gate opening makes clipping in multiple ropes on rap a breeze too. On an alpine climb the auto-lock gate can become frozen, a standard screw-gate is probably more ideal.

I would buy this biner again without reservation.

Heavy

Best Uses

Indoor climbing
Long Climbs
Outdoor climbing

Comments about Omega Pacific Jake Quik-Lok Autolocking Carabiner:

A bit heavy, but that may help with durability and heat dissipation on long repels and top roping. Large enough for amost any configuration/rescue setup you could throw at it. Simple, quick action lock. A tiny bit large for a gri-gri, but still do-able.

Buying #2 to replace the old one.

First Carabiner, Very Happy

By Stefano P.

from Detroit, MI

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.

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.
