It's a little heavy, and pretty hard to open, but for my use (toprope master point) the hard to open thing is good - I can set an anchor and use it all day, confident that no matter what we do, we couldn't possibly unlock this accidentally.
Needed another one. Happy with then others I've purchased previously.
