Overall pretty solid. Super light and has a great look it it. Would have been 5 stars but 2 of the 3 I ordered have a very 'crunchy' feel to the screw lock. It may smooth out over time but feels like something that should have been caught in QC.
I have about 6 of these on my rack for building anchors, attaching and extending the rap, backing up the rap etc. I like to keep everything the same so I know what I’m grabbing. These are sturdy, but don’t come loose unintentionally yet are somehow still easy to work with. An all around great purchase I’ll continue to reach for.
seems ok but the screw lock mechanism is a bit crunchy near the ends of travel, making locking and unlocking more difficult. Not sure yet if this crunchiness will work itself out over time, but its a bit annoying.
I have five of these now. Use them for sport and trad anchors. Absolutely the best. Screwlock is a work of art. Nice and smooth, stays put, and feels great on the hands. Profile is perfect, fits in tight spots and plenty of room to pass hitches in or whatever you fancy.
I’ve bought a couple of these so far and they’ve worked great for anchor building, rappelling, etc.. Super light, definitely one of my go tos!
Great biner for a great price. Very light also with a gate that works well with my belay devices though I'm using mainly for anchors.
The screw gate is the smoothest I've felt. It's great for anchors. I use it on my PAS.
