Yeah, check the gearheads forum on about page 3 or so. I made a topic and a couple of posts about them a couple of weeks ago.
Oh, and by the way. I hear KONG is going out of business so all you KONG adjustable FIFI hook, and FROG guys better try to get them soon cause they may not be around much longer.

Where did you hear that Kong is going out of business?
Has anyone else heard this? Are overpriced Spirits or puny Positrons going to be our only source for key lock 'biners in the future?

A distributor in Iowa was the only place where I was able to get a frog, and it was back-ordered for weeks. They told me that KONG-Bonatti was having major distribution problems and was possibly going under. It's heresay, but its just what I heard.

Curry Village mountain shop in Yosemnite sells them.
Funky device, seems that they would be good for a stick clip situation, but if you have a spinning bolt you may have problems.
I've never used one, but have played with them.
Kong going out of business, I sure hope not.

I got mine, probably about a year ago. I carry a mixed bag some of the frogs and some regulars. I like them. They work great in reachy situations because all you have to do is touch the bolt hanger and they close on it, and if you have the need to stick clip one they kick. They also have a great "what the hell are those" factor when people see them. I bought mine from Barrabes in Spain.
