Solid construction, used outside on multi pitch routes.Great for getting the job done. The screw gate on mine gets a bit hard to unscrew at times. Hey you get what you pay for.
Used for toprope (two of these), and already see pretty noticeable wear. These biners have much softer aluminium than others. They are pretty light, though.
A grate carabiner to have especially for beginners. I good for building anchors and for belay devices
I like the functionality. Easy lock on the gate and easy to clip into a rope or harness. I using this for a tree tether for deer hunting. As long as you dont spin the lock mechanism fast the lock is quite. The gate hiting the body makes sound but this can be avoided. While the body is maybe not as dull for hunting but still good enough.
It works just fine. I use it for the Grigri or for the Petzl tublar belaying/rappelling devices.
Its a good investment, for needs , being on the out doors,ect
I bought this to attach my keys to my backpack. Works great.
