Great locking biner. I have a pair of them i picked up this year. They are a little small for my liking as a belay device biner but for setting top ropes or locking things off they are quite nice. Ver nice all around locker to have in your collection.

Just got them for the ends of daisys. Their light and didn't cost to much. So far so good. I like how they can close with one even flick if you get it right.
I just got 4 more. Still love them and moved my vote to a 5.

These are not as good for power points of anchors as, say, the Omega Jakes (best locker ever) because you can't cram as much stuff into them (smaller gate opening -- no surprise, the Jake opens wider than any other locker made). But they really shine for other tasks where a small, light, non-snagging locker is called for -- belaying with a GriGri (the Jake's bar stock is too thick); using a daisy to clip in while you set and equalize an anchor; or for making damn sure the rope stays connected to a critical piece of protection. I tend to carry an equal number (2-3) of these and the Jakes, mostly because the Jakes are soooo heavy. If I am worried about weight, these are the only lockers I take at all.

These are my workhorses when building anchors. Small, light, cheap, and they don't snag on stuff.

Well, the obvious plus is the keylock nose allowing easy clips. I use it on My daisy chain because I am constantly changing lengths and other carabiners never stopped snagging. It wouldn't hurt if it was a bit larger though.
