Lightweight and easy to use. Got them to replace some larger carabiners that I would have difficulty getting out of bolts and chain. Don’t have that problem with these. Acre gates are smooth and easy to do one handed. The visual of locked/unlocked is nice as well
Favorite locking carabiner. Smooth action, beautiful color, but the star is the small nose, which is easy to fit into belay device eyelet.
I, as many others, have and use different types of carabiners. This one has become one of my favorites. I use it for anchors and protection during my alpine climbing. The gate screws on and off easily even while wearing gloves. The smooth and small nose prevents unwanted snags. I also use it for different climbing disciplines as well as recreational use during camping such as hammocks.
I love these. They have a small profile which is nice when anchoring into a bolt. The screw gate is incredibly smooth, love the way that feels. The design is cool too. OK, not sure why I care about the design be cool....but hey!!
Needed some locking ones for a rafting trip and these were great!
Watching several classes of young climbers struggle with the screw gate over and over has lead me away from these. The surface has little corners but no texture so there is excessive struggling while trying to screw open or closed. And over-tightening is brutal to undo.
Great carabiner, light, easy to see and use. Go get it;)
