Overall good

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.

Great screw lock

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.

screw lock crunchy

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.

work of art

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.

Great buy at any budget!

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.

It's perfect

The screw gate is the smoothest I've felt. It's great for anchors. I use it on my PAS.
