Great idea with the steel insert. I will use this exclusively with top rope set-ups. Not a big deal, but it will not fit my grigri and in general is a smallish carabiner. Also be aware the screw is very easy to spin and if not tightened hard will loosen. Remember, screw down so you don't screw up.
I use these carabiners primarily as top rope anchors for sport climbing on the rope side of my quad anchors. The stainless steel inserts work great for increasing longevity and preserving your other carabiners. Even with a dirty rope, the steel lasts a long time and the carabiner lasts and lasts. Not really intended as a belay carabiner, but excellent for climbing anchors. The hybrid construction gives you the benefit of a steel carabiner with the weight of an aluminum carabiner.
love using these biners for top rope on a sport route!
