I got these for racking racking nuts on my harness and they do just that. The keylock nose prevents snagging. Solid carabiner.
I got these more as auxiliary biners just to have a few extras and they’ve definitely come in handy a few times where I need just a couple more than I guessed. They live on the rear loops of my harness and are super simple and handy.
Bought these for an 80' primitive slackline rig and they work great.
I use them to attach to my water bottles .........
